Per-Branch History Length Fitting in Pattern-Based Branch Prediction

immediate small side branch occlusion after percutaneous coronary intervention

background: small side branches, albeit less important than their larger counterparts, have not yet received due attention in the literature. nor has there ever been a comparison between drug-eluting stents and bare metal stents apropos side branch occlusion . the aim of this study was to compare the patency of small (≥0.5 and ≤1.5 mm in diameter) side branches with respect to bare metal vs. dr...

Dynamic per-branch history length adjustment to improve branch prediction accuracy

Branch misprediction limits processor performance signiWcantly, as the pipeline deepens and the instruction issued per cycle increases. Since the introduction of the two-level adaptive branch predictor, branch history has been a major input vector in branch prediction, together with the address of a branch instruction. Until now, the length of branch history has been statically Wxed for all bra...

Painful medial branch neuroma treated with minimally invasive medial branch neurectomy.

STUDY DESIGN Case report. OBJECTIVE To report an unusual complication following lumbar facet radiofrequency denervation and describe a successful, minimally invasive treatment of a presumed medial branch neuroma. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Radiofrequency medial branch neurotomy is a common procedure for the treatment of mechanical back pain. Deafferentation injury and neuroma formation is w...

Thrombus aspiration in primary coronary intervention.

CMAJ • JANUARY 11, 2011 • 183(1) © 2011 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors E68 An 84-year-old man presented to the emergency department with severe chest pain that had begun three hours earlier. He was a heavy smoker with a history of hypertension. On examination, his blood pressure was 120/64 mm Hg, his pulse was regular at 100 beats/min, and his respiratory rate was 20 breaths/min....
