 Hazard (computer architecture) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A structural hazard might occur, for instance, if a program were to execute a branch instruction followed by a computation instruction.
Because they are executed in parallel, and because branching is typically slow (requiring a comparison, program counter-related computation, and writing to registers), it is quite possible (depending on architecture) that the computation instruction and the branch instruction will both require the ALU at the same time.
Branching hazards (also known as control hazards) occur when the processor is told to branch - IE, if a certain condition is true, jump from one part of the instruction stream to another one - not necessarily the next one sequentially.

 Hazard (computer architecture)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In computer architecture, a hazard is a potential problem that can happen in a pipelinedd processor.
Branching hazards occur when the processor is told to branch - IE, if a certain condition is true, jump from one part of the instructions to another one - not necessarily the next one sequentially.
Thus, before the next instruction (which will cause the hazard) is executed, the previous one will be suffeciently complete to prevent the hazard.

When I started to review Advanced Computer Architecture, the humble way in which the authors pose the question as to whether there is a need for another textbook on computer architecture, when there are such excellent texts from Hwang (1993) and Patterson and Hennessy (1990), struck a chord.
This timely book provides an unconventional and up-to-date overview of all the important computer architectures and is one of the first texts to present all the relevant concepts of advanced architecture classes by exploring their design spaces.
Advanced Computer Architectures will prove an indispensable guide for anyone who needs to be acquainted with the relevant concepts and solutions introduced in recent years to the dramatically changing world of computer architecture.

 Quals: Computer Architecture - SEWiki
Early computers used a stack architecture, where the operands are implicitly on the top of the stack and the result of a computation is deposited on to the stack.
Other alternatives to implementing the control unit are to create a very simple computer that interprets the inputs as a jump address into a subroutine library, or to use a large read only memory in which the inputs are an address to the memory whose data becomes the control signals.
Pipeline hazards are conflicts between instructions in a pipeline that prevent the next instruction in the stream from executing normally.
