I am organizing an academic branch prediction championship: https://cbp-ng.bpchamp.com/

This is not the first championship in branch prediction, but real-world design constraints have never been seriously considered before (How long does it take to produce a prediction? How much energy does it consume?). We wrote a new C++ library which uses operator overloading to track the latency/energy used by math operations as the predictor predicts. In addition to computation, this library models registers, RAMs, etc. The championship is open to everyone - documentation, a tutorial, etc. are on our website/repository to help you get started!
