Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatuses for the generation of a global history are disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention may provide logic operable to generate a global history and a global history register operable to store a global history. More specifically, in one embodiment the global history logic comprises a set of multiplexers, each set corresponding to one of a set of instructions fetched in a cycle of a microprocessor, the number of multiplexers in each set equal to the number of bits of global history and each multiplexer within a set having a select signal corresponding to the same instruction to which that set of multiplexers corresponds.
