ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods for addressing predicting useful in high-performance computing systems. The present invention provides novel correlation prediction tables. In one embodiment, correlation prediction tables of the present invention contain an entered key for each successor value entered into the correlation table. In a second embodiment, correlation prediction tables of the present invention utilize address offsets for both the entered keys and entered successor values.
