    This document describes branch penalties for three prediction schemes - flush pipeline, predict taken, and predict untaken - for a deeper pipeline. The flush pipeline scheme incurs a 2.0 cycle penalty whether the branch is taken or not taken. The predict taken scheme incurs a 3 cycle penalty if not taken but only a 2 cycle penalty if taken. The predict untaken scheme incurs no penalty if not taken but a 3 cycle penalty if taken.
