Simulates 3 different types of branch prediction given a set of results to test their accuracy
- Fixed (always picks true)
- Static (first taken)
- dynamic (two layer adaptive learner)
Input file needs to be formatted like
branch address\t[@.]]\ttarget address
Where @ means the branch was taken and . means it wasnt. So for example:
0x7fa5af528cd3 @ 0x7fa5af52cc30
0x7fa5af52cc7f . 0x7fa5af52cc85
0x7fa5af52ccc1 @ 0x7fa5af52ccdf
0x7fa5af52cce3 @ 0x7fa5af52ccc8
0x7fa5af52ccdd . 0x7fa5af52ccdf
Run like:
python3 input.trace
