If bit 2 of the BO field contains 0, the CTR decrements.
The BI field specifies a bit in the CR to be used as the condition of the branch.
The next instruction address (NIA) is the effective address of the branch. The NIA is formed by adding
a displacement to a base address. The displacement is obtained by concatenating two 0-bits to the
right of the BD field and sign-extending the result to 32 bits.
If the AA field contains 0, the base address is the address of the branch instruction, which is also the
current instruction address (CIA). If the AA field contains 1, the base address is 0.
The BO field controls options that determine when program flow is transferred to the NIA. The BO
field also controls branch prediction, a performance-improvement feature. See “Branch Prediction” on
page 2-26 for a complete discussion.
If the LK field contains 1, then (CIA + 4) is placed into the LR.
