This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18346407 titled 'BRANCH PREDICTION CIRCUITRY
Original Abstract Submitted
Branch prediction circuitry comprising branch target prediction circuitry to, for an identified block of sequential instructions, generate a branch target prediction identifying a predicted branch target for a selected branch instruction in the block of sequential instructions; output circuitry to output the branch target prediction; and determination circuitry to determine whether at least one condition is met. The branch target prediction circuitry is responsive to the determination circuitry determining that the at least one condition is met to generate the branch target prediction to identify both the predicted branch target for the selected branch instruction and one or more further predicted branch targets for one or more further branch instructions in the block of sequential instructions.
