Abstract:
Predicting a predicted value to be used in register-indirect branching. The predicted value is stored in a first selected location and a second selected location accessible to one or more instructions of a computing environment. The storing is performed concurrently to processing a register-indirect branch. Further, the first selected location and the second selected location is in addition to another location used to store an instruction address. The predicted value is used in speculative processing that includes the register-indirect branch.
