Abstract
A system includes a hierarchical metadata predictor and a processing circuit. The hierarchical metadata predictor includes a first-level metadata predictor and a second-level metadata predictor. The processing circuit is configured to perform a plurality of operations including storing new or updated metadata into the first-level metadata predictor and searching the first-level metadata predictor for a metadata prediction. Responsive to finding the metadata prediction in the first-level metadata predictor, the metadata prediction is output corresponding to an entry of the first-level metadata predictor that is a hit. One or more entries of the first-level metadata predictor that are non-hits are periodically written to the second-level metadata predictor. The first-level metadata predictor is updated based on locating the metadata prediction in the second-level metadata predictor.
