BRANCH PREDICTION

Various techniques can be used to predict whether a branch will betaken. Among the more common are the following
Predict never taken
Predict always taken
Predict by opcode

Taken/not taken switch
• Branch history table The first three approaches are static they do not depend on the execution history up to the time of the conditional branch instruction. The latter two approaches are dynamic They depend on the execution history. The first two approaches are the simplest. These either always assume that the branch will not betaken or continue to fetch instructions in sequence, or they always assume that the branch will betaken and always fetch from the branch target. The predict-never-taken approach is the most popular of all the branch prediction methods.
