The predictor proposed is a tag-based, global-history predictor derived from PPM. It features five tables. Each table is indexed with a different history length. The prediction for a branch is given by the up-down saturating counter associated with the longest matching history. For this kind of predictor to work well, the update must be done carefully. We propose a new update method that improv...

The authors appreciate Professor Cheng-De Zheng pointing errors in definition of LMI variable [1–8] and would like to correct an error in definition of an LMI variable of the paper [1–8]. In [1–8], Theorems or Corollaries present stability or stabilization criteria for the system with uncertainties or nonlinear perturbations. In [1–8], the LMI variables H in [1–3,5– 8], Hi ði 1⁄4 1;2Þ in [4], a...
