For a recent paper on branch prediction techniques, look at : McFarling,S. and Hennessy, J. "Reducing the Cost of Branches", Proc. 13th Annual Symp. on Comp. Arch., Tokyo, 1986, pp. 396-403. It contains a good overview of compile and runtime techniques as well as references to other important papers.
