Abstract
Circuitry comprises prediction storage to store, for a given branch operation, a multi-bit data item and indicator data defining a subset of bits of the multi-bit data item, the subset being one of an ordered succession of different subsets of bits of the multi-bit data item; and prediction generator circuitry to generate a predicted branch outcome for the given branch operation in dependence upon the subset of bits defined by the indicator data and, in response to generation of the predicted branch outcome, to change the subset of bits defined by the indicator data to a next subset in the ordered succession of subsets.
