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 specify why each pipeline Stall is introduced. (16 points) addq %rax, (%rbx) subq %rcx, %rax movq $0, %rdx movq $1, %rdx xorq %rsi, (%rbx) movq %rsi, %r10 movq %r10, %r11

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...
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...
(Pipelining 20%) The 5 stages of a processor have the following latencies: Fetch Decode Execute Memory Write-back 250 350ps 300ps 500ps 80ps a. If the processor is non-pipelined: what is the clock cycle time for the processor? What is the latency of an R-type instruction in the processor? b. If the processor is pipelined: What is the clock cycle time for the processor? What is the latency of an R-type instruction in the processor? C. If you could split one...
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...
