description | According to one general aspect, an apparatus may include a branch prediction circuit configured to predict if a branch instruction will be taken or not. The apparatus may include a branch target buffer circuit configured to store a memory segment empty flag that indicates whether or not the memory segment after a target address includes at least one other branch instruction, wherein the memory segment empty flag was created during a commit stage of a prior occurrence of the branch instruction. The branch prediction circuit may be configured to skip over the memory segment if the memory segment empty flag indicates a lack of other branch instruction(s). |
