Repeat 4.24.4, but now your predictor should be able to eventually (after a warm-up period during which it can make wrong predictions) start perfectly predicting both this pattern and its opposite. Your predictor should have an input that tells it what the real outcome was.

Exercise 4.24.4

Design a predictor that would achieve a perfect accuracy if this pattern is repeated forever. You predictor should be a sequential circuit with one output that provides a prediction (1 for taken, 0 for not taken) and no inputs other than the clock and the control signal that indicates that the instruction is a conditional branch.

This exercise examines the accuracy of various branch predictors for the following repeating pattern (e.g., in a loop) of branch outcomes:

a. b. T, T, NT, NT T, NT, T, T, NT Branch Outcomes
