We execute the following instruction sequence (data hazards may exhibit in the sequence) on a MIPS 5-stage pipeline with forwarding and stall features implemented. Draw a graphical representation for the execution of the instruction sequence that clearly shows (1) forwarding path (if any); (2) stall cycles (if any); and (3) total cycles needed for the execution. lw R8, 0x0020(R10) add R9, R8, R10 sw R8, 0x0040(R10)
Consider a standard 5-stage MIPS pipeline of the type discussed during the class sessions: IF- ID-EX-M-WB. Assume that forwarding is not implemented and only the hazard detection and stall logic is implemented so that all data dependencies are handled by having the pipeline stall until the register fetch will result in the correct data being fetched. Furthermore, assume that the memory is written/updated in the first half of the clock cycle (i.e. on the rising edge of the clock) and...
