The offsets of most branches can be evaluated from instruction and current PC.Branch target profiling (BTP) mechanism scans prefetched instruction blocks

and generates targets of direct branches.The trace preconstruction mechanism observes the processor's instruction dispatch stream to detect opportunities for jumping ahead of the processor.However

branch hazards prevent trace preconstruction from branch target disambiguity.With the help of BTP

Trace preconstruction mechanism constructs pseudo traces from prefetched instructions.To SPECint95 benchmark suite

BTP can generate branch target accurately

reduces cache access miss rate efficiently

and prompts program performance.
