Control hazards in pipelined architectures arise from pipeline disruptions caused by conditional branch instructions that require flushing dependent instructions when taken. The theoretical framework for managing these hazards involves minimizing penalty cycles through early target address calculation, condition code evaluation displacement, and static or dynamic prediction strategies based on historical outcome patterns. To overcome the inherent inefficiency of CPI > 1 introduced by unresolved branches, instruction-level parallelism is theoretically mandated via superscalar issue logic or compiler-driven Very Large Instruction Word (VLIW) formats to maintain pipeline fullness without sequential stalls.
