11. Branch predictors are parts of a processor that guess the outcome of a conditional branch . 12. The instruction set does not contain conditional branch instructions. 13. Conditional branch instructions test the various flag status bits.14. This is an instruction that combines the effect of a conditional branch and a move instruction. 15. Therefore the fetch of the target instruction of a conditional branch precedes evaluation of the branch condition. 16. A conditional branch is even more problematic. 17. Any bit of these bytes may be directly accessed by a variety of logical operations and conditional branches . 18. Unconditional branches update the program counter with a new address computed in the same way as conditional branches . 19. In all cases but conditional branch , the LINK field of the cell tells which instruction to execute next. 20. Execution would then proceed with the multiplication and the conditional branch , which would evaluate to false and print OK.
