In this paper, we present a Branch Target Buuer (BTB) design for energy savings in set-associative instruction caches. We extend the functionality of a BTB by caching way predictions in addition to branch target addresses. Way prediction and branch target prediction are done in parallel. Instruction cache energy savings are achieved by accessing one cache way if the way prediction for a fetch i...

Pectoral major flap is one of most frequently used flaps in head and neck reconstruction. The wide attractiveness of this flap is based on secure vascular stalk made from pectoral branch of thoracoacromial artery. The aim of study was to analyze the variations in vascular supply of pectoral major muscle. The investigation was performed on 30 fetuses from 20 to 36 gestation week both gender. For...

The relationship between branch diameter and leaf size has been widely used to understand how vegetative resources are allocated in plants. Branching architecture influences reproductive allocation as well, but fewer studies have explored this relationship at broad phylogenetic or ecological scales. In this study, we tested whether pollen-producing and seed-producing cone size scales with branc...

It is not well understood what determines the degree of supercooling of apoplastic sap in trees, although it determines the number and duration of annual freeze-thaw cycles in a given environment. We studied the linkage between apoplastic ice nucleation temperature, tree water status, and conduit size. We used branches of 10 gymnosperms and 16 angiosperms collected from an arboretum in Helsinki...

Design parameters interact in complex ways in modern processors, especially because out-of-order issue and decoupling buffers allow latencies to be overlapped. Tradeoffs among instruction-window size, branch-prediction accuracy, and instructionand datacache size can change as these parameters move through different domains. For example, modeling unrealistic caches can underor over-state the ben...

the purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship between role clearness and occupational commitment of branch team managers in tehran agricultural bank. research questions were provided and developed considering role theory, existent resources toward role, present job description. the opinions of branch team managers in tehran agricultural bank according to demographic variabl...

intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (ipmns) are rare pancreatic tumours, accounting for less of 1-2% of all neoplasms of the gland. main characteristics of ipmns are their favourable prognosis as these pre-malignant or frankly malignant lesions are usually slow-growing tumours and radical surgery is frequently possible. according with the localization of the lesions, three different entiti...
