Branch prediction for indirect jumps, including: receiving, by a branch prediction module, a branch address for each of a plurality of executed branch instructions; receiving, by the branch prediction module, an instruction address of a current branch instruction; creating, by the branch prediction module, an execution path identifier in dependence upon the branch address for each of the plurality of executed branch instructions and the instruction address of the current branch instruction; and searching, by the branch prediction module, a branch prediction table for an entry that matches the execution path identifier. |
