Question 1
Analyze a situation where a program has a high number of predictable branches. Would static branch prediction suffice, or would dynamic prediction offer better performance? Justify your reasoning.
π‘ Hint: Consider the impact of historical behavior on predictions.
Question 2
Given a pipeline scenario where the first instruction is a branch that is predicted statically, how would you describe the potential impact if the prediction is incorrect in a deep pipeline?
π‘ Hint: Reflect on the mechanics of branch mispredictions in relation to pipeline depth.
