branchless

Lacking any limbs

Branchless describes something lacking branches—a branchless tree has been stripped or pruned bare.

In computing, branchless code avoids conditional statements that would cause the processor to "branch" to different instructions, improving performance: branchless programming techniques.

Branchless banking operates without physical branch locations, conducting business entirely online or through mobile devices.
