Questions: 15 | Attempts: 13 | Last updated: May 1, 2026

Sample Question 1
What is branch prediction?

A technique to guess the next instruction before the branch is evaluated

A method to delete unnecessary code branches

A process that checks if code has syntax errors

A way to combine multiple if-statements into one

Sample Question 2
Why is branch prediction important for CPU performance?

It reduces memory usage by eliminating code

It prevents pipeline stalls by keeping the processor busy

It increases the clock speed of the CPU

It eliminates the need for registers

Sample Question 3
What happens when a branch prediction is incorrect?

The program crashes immediately

The CPU must flush the pipeline and restart with the correct instruction

The incorrect instruction is executed anyway

The CPU skips the next instruction
