Distinguish between hardware versus software speculation mechanisms?

Hardware

Hardware doesn’t required any program code to work. Hardware is using dynamic scheduling.

This is not an option of the software. And it is not rely on any code sequence as like software. And also it does not required any code sequence to perform highly for the hardware.

You can use different implementation on single architecture.

Software

You have to use different approaches for implementation on even in single architecture.  

Code sequence is very important not like hardware. Performances are based on these code sequences.

Better code schedules provide better performance.

Here software not using the dynamic scheduling to work.
