What is Branch Prediction in Computer Architecture about?

This document summarizes techniques for reducing branch costs in computer architecture, specifically branch prediction. It discusses how as processors add parallelism, branching becomes a limiting factor. Branch destination and test can be known earlier through optimizations, such as in the second cycle rather than the third. Hazard detection units identify dependencies to avoid stalls from control dependencies. Overall it aims to reduce branch costs as parallelism increases in processor design.
