Abstract
Methods and systems for determining a priority of a threads is described. A processor can execute branch instructions of the thread. The processor can predict branch instruction outcomes of the branch instructions of the thread. The processor can increment a misprediction count of the thread in response to an actual execution of a branch instruction of the thread being different from a corresponding branch instruction prediction outcome of the thread. The processor can determine the priority of the thread based on the misprediction count of the thread.
