DYNAMIC THREAD SHARING IN BRANCH PREDICTION STRUCTURES

Embodiments relate to multithreaded branch prediction. An aspect includes a system for dynamically evaluating how to share entries of a multithreaded branch prediction structure. The system includes a first-level branch target buffer coupled to a processor circuit. The processor circuit is configured to perform a method. The method includes receiving a search request to locate branch prediction information associated with the search request, and searching for an entry corresponding to the search request in the first-level branch prediction structure. The entry is not allowed based on a thread state of the entry indicating that the entry has caused a problem on a thread associated with the thread state.
