Branch predication — is a strategy in computer architecture design for mitigating the costs usually associated with conditional branches, particularly branches to short sections of code. It does this by allowing each instruction to conditionally either perform an… … Wikipedia
Branch misprediction — occurs when a central processing unit (CPU) mispredicts the next instruction to process in branch prediction, which is aimed at speeding up execution. During the execution of certain programs there are places where the program execution flow can… … Wikipedia
Instruction level parallelism — (ILP) is a measure of how many of the operations in a computer program can be performed simultaneously. Consider the following program: 1. e = a + b 2. f = c + d 3. g = e * fOperation 3 depends on the results of operations 1 and 2, so it cannot… … Wikipedia
Instruction path length — is a term frequently used to simply describe the number of machine code instructions required to execute a section of a computer program. The total path length for the entire program could be deemed a measure of the algorithms performance on a… … Wikipedia
branch — [branch, bränch] n. [ME branche < OFr brance < LL branca, a claw, paw] 1. any woody extension growing from the trunk or main stem, or from a main limb, of a tree or shrub 2. anything physically resembling a branch, as a tine of a deer s… … English World dictionary
Branch predictor — In computer architecture, a branch predictor is the part of a processor that determines whether a conditional branch in the instruction flow of a program is likely to be taken or not. This is called branch prediction. Branch predictors are… … Wikipedia

Branch target predictor — In computer architecture, a branch target predictor is the part of a processor that predicts the target of a conditional branch or unconditional jump instruction before that instruction has been fetched from the instruction cache. The instruction … Wikipedia
