BRANCH PREDICTOR WITH JUMP AHEAD LOGIC TO JUMP OVER PORTIONS OF PROGRAM CODE LACKING BRANCHES
摘要
<p>A processor of an aspect includes front end logic to process parcels of program code. Each of the parcels has multiple instructions. A branch predictor of the processor is coupled with the front end logic. The branch predictor is to predict directions of branch instructions of the program code. The processor includes jump ahead logic to cause the branch predictor to jump over at least one parcel of the program code that does not have a branch instruction between parcels of the program code that each have at least one branch instruction.</p>
