Microprocessor branch processing

A branch processing unit (BPU) is used, in an exemplary embodiment, in a superscalar, superpipelined microprocessor compatible with the x86 instruction set architecture. The BPU (140) predicts the direction of branches, and provides target addresses for predicted taken branches and unconditional cha...
