A non-pipelined processor has a clock rate of 1 GHz and an average instruction takes 9 cycles to execute. The manufacturer has decided to design a pipelined version of this processor. For this purpose, the instruction cycle has been divided into five stages with the following latencies: Stage 1 – 2.0 ns,Stage 2 – 1.5 ns, Stage 3 – 1.0 ns, Stage 4 – 2.6 ns, Stage 5 – 1.9 ns. Each stage will require an extra 0.4 ns for...

3) The 4-Stage Pipeline below suffers from the memory access
resource conflict as shown below (instruction i and i+2 want to
access memory at the same time and i+2 needs to be denied, so it
waits for the next cycle; in the next cycle it...

A 5-Stage pipeline is composed
of the following stages Instruction Fetch (IF), Decode (DE),
Execute (EX), Memory Access (ME) and Register Write-back (WB).
Assume the pipeline does not have a branch prediction unit, does
not have superscalar support and does not support out of order
execution. Assume that all memory accesses are in the L1 cache and
therefore do not introduce any stalls. Show a pipeline diagram that
shows the execution of each stage for the assembly code below. Also...

We found that the instruction fetch and memory stages are the
critical path of our 5-stage pipelined MIPS CPU. Therefore, we
changed the IF and MEM stages to take two cycles
while increasing the clock rate. You can assume that the register
file is written at the falling edge of the clock.
Assume that no pipelining optimizations have been made, and that
branch comparisons are made by the ALU. Here’s how our pipeline
looks when executing two add instructions:
Clock...
