Abstract: Merging branch target buffer entries includes maintaining, in a branch target buffer, an entry corresponding to first branch instruction, where the entry identifies a first branch target address for the first branch instruction and a second branch target address for a second branch instruction; and accessing, based on the first branch instruction, the entry.
