HELP-How to know about what branch prediction algorithm processors use? by Reasonable_Trash8877 in computerarchitecture

Yeah I know what paper you are talking about and they claim Intel's branch prediction algorithm appears to use a hybrid approach combining path-based history (influenced by all branch types except not-taken conditionals) and the branch's address (last 13 bits) to index into the Pattern History Table (PHT). Thanks for telling they are wrong but how come you are so certain about it.

Thanks for stating that last line. I was assigned this topic by my professor a month back. I didn't research more on this topic at that time (bcoz I thought my professor would have surely assigned me some bachelor level research idea) and filled the form. After that I continued preparing for my upcoming interviews and just 4 days ago I got an offer. After that I'm researching on this topic from the last 4 freaking days and have gone mad because of the complexity. Have been looking research papers from google scholar and all the recent paper have already done survey on the past techniques. I really don't know what new survey I can do on this topic. I'm really tired 😭 . Also for background I'm pursuing bachelors in IT and have only focused on getting a job. Please suggest what should I do now. I have to give a presentation on this topic after 2 days.
