Abstract:
Embodiments relate to target buffer address region tracking. An aspect includes receiving a restart address, and comparing, by a processing circuit, the restart address to a first stored address and to a second stored address. The processing circuit determines which of the first and second stored addresses is identified as a same range and a different range to form a predicted target address range defining an address region associated with an entry in the target buffer. Based on determining that the restart address matches the first stored address, the first stored address is identified as the same range and the second stored address is identified as the different range. Based on determining that the restart address matches the second stored address, the first stored address is identified as the different range and the second stored address is identified as the same range.
