Even after decades of research in branch prediction, branch predictors still remain imperfect, which results in significant performance loss in aggressive processors that support large instruction windows and deep pipelines. This paper proposes a new processor architecture for handling hard-to-predict branches, the diverge-merge processor. The goal of this paradigm is to eliminate branch mispre...

because of heavy competition between auto manufacturer and the threats of foreign companies, they try to reduce the internal competition and costs by cooperation and merge. estimation about the auto market is affected by supply and demand. the demand depends on two factors: need for new cars and old cars exit. and the supply depends on production capacity and export. key factors that affected o...

This article argues in favor of a new type of Merge, Parallel Merge, which combines the properties of External Merge and Internal Merge. Parallel Merge creates symmetric, multidominant structures, which become antisymmetric in the course of the derivation. The main empirical goal of the article is to revive a multidominance approach to across-the-board wh-questions and to show that a number of ...
