Branch Queue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer architecture, while branch predictions branch queue[1] takes place. When the branch predictor predicts if the branch is taken or not, the branch queue stores the predictions to be used later.
A branch queue consists of only two values: taken or not taken.
A branch queue helps other algorithms to increase parallelism and optimization. It is not software implemented or hardware one; it falls under hardware software co-design.
