Abstract
Detecting that a sequence of instructions creates an affiliated relationship. A determination is made that a sequence of instructions creates an affiliated relationship. Based on determining that the sequence of instructions creates the affiliated relationship, a sequence of operations is generated. The sequence of operations provides a predicted target address to be included in a selected register and to be used in branching.
