Abstract: An arithmetic processing device executes instructions by pipeline processing. In the arithmetic processing device, a branch predictor includes a prediction holder holding a prediction value of a consecutively taken branch count, a current taken branch count, and a prediction value of a remaining taken branch count for conditional branch instructions. A branch instruction issuance scheduler outputs an instruction refetch request upon a branch prediction miss of a conditional branch instruction held at an entry other than a head of a branch instruction completion queue holding branch instructions to be completed, and a repair request to the branch predictor for conditional branch instructions held between the entry and the head of the queue. In response to the requests, the branch predictor updates the prediction value of the remaining taken branch count for the conditional branch instructions corresponding to the repair request.
