dynamic branch prediction
Dynamic branch prediction is a technique used in computer processors to predict the outcome of branch instructions (e.g., if-else statements or loops) at runtime, rather than relying solely on the program's control flow. It analyzes the program's execution history to determine the most likely outcome of a branch, improving the processor's performance by minimizing the impact of branching instructions on execution time.
