Format:

Description:
A branch target address is computed from the sum of the address of the instruction in the delay slot and the 16-bit
offset,
shifted left two bits and sign-extended. The contents of general register
rs
and the contents of general
register
rt
are compared. If the two registers are not equal, then the program branches to the target address, with
a delay of one instruction.
If the conditional branch is not taken, the instruction in the branch delay slot is nullified.
Operation:
32 T: target (offset15)14 || offset || 02
condition (GPR [rs] GPR [rt])
T+1: if condition then
PC PC + target
else
NullifyCurrentInstruction
endif
64 T: target (offset15)46 || offset || 02
condition (GPR [rs] GPR [rt])
T+1: if condition then
PC PC + target
else
NullifyCurrentInstruction
endif
Exceptions:
None
