Abstract:
Instructions are executed in a pipeline of a processor, where each instruction is associated with a particular context. A first storage stores branch prediction information characterizing results of branch instructions previously executed. The first storage is dynamically partitioned into partitions of one or more entries. Dynamically partitioning includes updating a partition to include an additional entry by associating the additional entry with a particular subset of one or more contexts. A predicted branch result is determined based on at least a portion of the branch prediction information. An actual branch result provided based on an executed branch instruction is used to update the branch prediction information. Providing a predicted branch result for a first branch instruction includes retrieving a first entry from a first partition based at least in part on an identified first subset of one or more contexts associated with the first branch instruction.

Claim (Index 5):
The integrated circuit of  claim 3 , wherein the first subset of one or more contexts consists of only the context associated with the first branch instruction, and determining the context-related identifier that identifies the first subset includes assigning a sequence bits to uniquely identify the context associated with the first branch instruction among all contexts currently in use, where the assigned sequence of bits contains fewer bits than all bits associated with the context associated with the first branch instruction.
