Abstract
In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: a value prediction storage including a plurality of entries each to store address information of an instruction, a value prediction for the instruction and a confidence value for the value prediction; and a control circuit coupled to the value prediction storage. In response to an instruction address of a first instruction, the control circuit is to access a first entry of the value prediction storage to obtain a first value prediction associated with the first instruction and control execution of a second instruction based at least in part on the first value prediction. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
