Predication: Racing on With the Intel Itanium 2 Processor Performance Advantage

Overview The Intel Itanium 2 processor supports Predication, an architectural feature that helps eliminate many branches, which may lead to branch mispredict penalties, greatly increasing the efficiency with which the processor is able to execute branched code. This paper explains how predication is essentially choosing the quickest path through a racecourse while eliminating the impact of wrong turns taken along the way.
