Abstract:
An apparatus and method of operating an apparatus are provided. The apparatus comprises execution circuitry to perform data processing operations specified by instructions and instruction retrieval circuitry to retrieve the instructions from memory, wherein the instructions comprise branch instructions. The instruction retrieval circuitry comprises branch target storage to store target instruction addresses for the branch instructions and branch target prefetch circuitry to prepopulate the branch target storage with predicted target instruction addresses for the branch instructions. An improved hit rate in the branch target storage may thereby be supported.

Claim (Index 6):
The apparatus as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the at least one further level of branch target storage has greater storage capacity than the branch target storage.
