摘要： Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes an instruction profiler to identify a predicated block within instructions to be executed by a hardware processor. The example apparatus includes a performance monitor to access a mis-prediction statistic based on an instruction address associated with the predicated block. The example apparatus includes a region former to, in response to determining that the mis-prediction statistic is above a mis-prediction threshold, include the predicated block in a predicated region for optimization.
