Consider a branch instruction which is executed 8 times in a program. The actual outcomes of the branch are N, T, N, T, N,N,N, T where T = Taken and N = Not taken. Dynamic branch prediction is used to predict the branch outcomes. Show the predictions made for each instance of the branch and calculate the branch prediction accuracy in case of the following two predictors: a) A 1-bit branch predictor which starts in the LNT (Likely Not Taken) state Assume states to be SLT - Strongly Likely to be Taken (11) LT - Likely to be Taken (10) NLT - Not Likely to be taken (01) SNT - Strongly Not Likely to be taken(00) (b) A 2-bit branch predictor which starts in the SNT state N.B. drawing the state diagram can help solve the problem easily.
