bimodal predictor

 How large must the predictor be to reduce the number of mispredictions by approximately half as compared to the better of “always taken” and “always not taken”? Give the predictor size both in terms of number of counters as well as bytes.

Branch Prediction Overview The purpose of this assignment is to experiment with different methods of implementing branch prediction.  This exercise will have you design a program that simulates branch prediction schemes as described below and collect performance information to analyze and compare the effectiveness of those schemes.  To do this, you’ll write a program that […]
