If there is value in branch prediction in programming, is their value in value prediction in simulations.

Consider something like temperature. If it has reached a fairly steady state, is their any value to guessing that the temperature at t+1 will be what it is at t (assuming that the value t+1 is difficult to calculate or takes time because it is being calculated elsewhere)?

Simulation branches where the guess of the value predicted were wrong would just be discarded. If it was correct it could be integrated into the main simulation line.
