Instruction pipelining is a process that implements in a form of parallelism. hence the basic instruction cycle is broken up into a series called a pipeline. Rather than processing each instruction sequentially (finishing one instruction before starting the next), each instruction is split up into a sequence of steps so different steps can be executed in parallel and instructions can be processed concurrently (starting one instruction before finishing the previous one) and so it allows faster CPU throughput .
True or false and short prove. stages in the pipeline occur in sequence for every instruction...

1. Consider the MIPS pipeline discussed in class, suppose the register between the Instruction Decode and Execute stages were removed. a. How would this affect the clock cycle? b. What is the speedup of the five stage pipeline vs. this new four stage pipeline? Assume ideal CPI for both cases. c. If the CPl of the five stage pipeline was not ideal, calculate by how much the NOPs would have to be reduced to make the change in the design...
6(10%) (Pipelining) Suppose you have a system where every problem must pass through 4 pipeline stages with delays of 30ns, 60ns, 15ns, 20ns. Each stage cannot be replicated, but can be pipelined. (a) What is the minimum number of stages, from beginning to end,in a pipeline that has no load imbalance? (b) What is the clock cycle time for this case, assuming clock to q delay, setup time and hold time is 2ns for registers? 6(10%) (Pipelining) Suppose you have...
1. Given the following instruction sequence for the MIPS processor with the standard 5 stage pipeline $10, S0. 4 addi lw S2.0(S10) add sw S2,4(510) $2, $2, $2 Show the data dependences between the instructions above by drawing arrows between dependent instructions (only show true/data dependencies). a. Assuming forwarding support, in what cycle would the store instruction write back to memory? Show the cycle by cycle execution of the instructions as they execute in the pipeline. Also, show any stalls...
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...
The basic pipeline for DLX has five stages: IF, ID, EX, MEM, and WB. Assuming all memory accesses take 1 clock cycle. a) What are the three types of pipeline hazards? b) What is the control (branch) hazard of an instruction pipeline? Provide three branch prediction alternatives to reduce branch hazards. c) What is the data forwarding scheme used to reduce the data hazard? d) Give all the forwarding paths of the five-stage DLX pipeline, including sources, destinations, and information...
