摘要:
A computer system comprises a processor that comprises a hardware branch predictor and software instructions executed by the processor. The software instructions comprise conditional branch instructions and separate static branch prediction instructions. The static branch prediction instructions comprise a plurality of groups of static branch prediction bits, each group being configurable to provide prediction information for a separate conditional branch instruction.
