4.28 The importance of having a good branch predictor depends on how o en conditional branches are executed. Together with branch predictor accuracy, this will determine how much time is spent stalling due to mispredicted branches. In this exercise, assume that the breakdown of dynamic instructions into various instruction categories is as follows:
R-Type
CBZ/CBNZ
B
LDUR
STUR
40%
25%
5%
25%
5%
Also, assume the following branch predictor accuracies:
Always-Taken
Always-Not-Taken
2-Bit
45%
55%
85%
4.28.1 [10] <§4.8> Stall cycles due to mispredicted branches increase the CPI. What is the extra CPI due to mispredicted branches with the always-taken predictor? Assume that branch outcomes are determined in the ID stage and applied in the EX stage that there are no data hazards, and that no delay slots are used.
4.28.2 [10] <§4.8> Repeat 4.28.1 for the "always-not-taken" predictor.
4.28.3 [10] <§4.8> Repeat 4.28.1 for the 2-bit predictor.
4.28.4 [10] <§4.8> With the 2-bit predictor, what speedup would be achieved if we could convert half of the branch instructions to some ALU instruction? Assume that correctly and incorrectly predicted instructions have the same chance of being replaced.
4.28.5 [10] <§4.8> With the 2-bit predictor, what speedup would be achieved if we could convert half of the branch instructions in a way that replaced each branch instruction with two ALU instructions? Assume that correctly and incorrectly predicted instructions have the same chance of being replaced.
4.28.6 [10] <§4.8> Some branch instructions are much more predictable than others. If we know that 80% of all executed branch instructions are easy-to-predict loop-back branches that are always predicted correctly, what is the accuracy of the 2-bit predictor on the remaining 20% of the branch instructions?

What are compression artifacts? 1) visible defects in the picture caused by the nature of the compression algorithm. 2) numbers that tell a web server how much to compress a picture for faster transmission. 3) invisible defects in the picture preserved by lossless compression. 4) numbers that tell a photo editing program how much to compress a picture for faster transmission.
