What I have done:

• Read refereces to know the details of various branch prediction schemes. Also, read branch predictor source codes in Lsim.
• Designed the interface of branch predictor in phase 1 (with Fengzhou).
• Implemented the functions of branch predictor in phase 1 (with Fengzhou).
• Wrote a RT_branch_opers.h and RT_os_branch.h to plug the branch predictor into the functional simulator. A script is written to automate the benchmark functional simulation with the branch predictor plugged in. (with Fengzhou)
• Defined the interface of branch predictor in phase 2.
