[Gems-users] questions about opal's branch prediction and ruby's fast path hit

[yilmazer@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello,
I have two questions. 
First one, Is there any perfect branch prediction in Opal?
And, second, If I change L1 hit latency to 2 cycle, does ruby still work with
fast path hit (for MOESI SMP directory protocol and MOSI SMP broadcast
protocol) or not? If it doesn't, what happens?
Thanks for your help,
Ayse Yilmazer.
