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.
