This problem covers your knowledge of branch prediction. The figure below illustrates three possible predictors.
Last taken predicts taken when 1
Up-Down (saturating counter) predicts taken when 11 and 10
Automata A3 predicts taken when 11 and 10
Fill out the tables below and on the next page for each branch predictor. The execution pattern for the branch is NTNNTTTN. Table 1: Table for last-taken branch predictor
