You are evaluating three branch prediction strategies: (1) predict always taken, (2) predict always not taken and (3) use the 2-bit branch predictor. Experimentally, your measurements show that conditional branches account for 20% of all instructions and 70% of all branches are taken. The 2-bit predictor has an accuracy of 70%. Assuming that the penalty of a mis-prediction is 4 cycles and 0 cycles for a correct prediction, compute the average stall cycles per instruction of the three strategies.

Write a method that takes in an array of point2d objects, and then analyzes the dataset to find points that are close together. be sure to review the point2d api. in your method, if the distance between any pair of points is less than 10, display the distance and the (x,y)s of each point. for example, "the distance between (3,5) and (8,9) is 6.40312." the complete api for the point2d adt may be viewed at ~pf/sedgewick-wayne/algs4/documentation/point2d.html (links to an external site.)links to an external site.. try to write your program directly from the api - do not review the adt's source code.
