What happens during a pipeline flush?
Think about what occurs after a branch misprediction.
Define branch misprediction.
Consider the impact on instruction flow.
What is a pipeline flush?
Think about how CPUS manage incorrect branch predictions.
True or False: A pipeline flush can be a necessary step in recovering from branch mispredictions.
Consider the implications of incorrect instruction fetching.
Evaluate the effect of multiple branch instructions on a CPU with a 10-stage pipeline, particularly in the context of execution speed and overall efficiency.
Think about how each stage can be affected when dealing with multiple branches.
Discuss how advancements in CPU architecture could reduce the penalties incurred from pipeline flushes in future designs.
Consider the role of technology in predicting and responding to branching logic.
