Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with branch prediction in workflows are described. In one embodiment, a branch predictor is configured to make branch predictions at decision elements of a workflow that executes serially, by at least: monitoring the workflow to identify when a decision element is encountered during execution. In response to encountering a first decision element in the workflow that includes a plurality of branch paths: (i) executing a prediction that predicts a resulting path of the first decision element to predict a first user interface from a plurality of possible user interfaces that are associated with the workflow; and (ii) pre-building the first user interface into memory including a structure and content configured for being rendered on a display. The pre-built first user interface is then displayed on a display device when the workflow reaches a first terminal element associated with the first user interface.
