,ID, EX, MEM, and WB and their latencies are
250ps,350 ps,150ps,300ps and 200ps respectively.
The frequency of the instructions executed by the
processor are as follows: ALU 40%, Branch 25%,
Load 20% and Store 15%.What is the clock
cycle time in a pipelined and non-pipelined
processor? If you can split one stage of the
pipelined data path into two stages, each with
half the latency of the original stage, which
stage would you split and what is the new clock
cycle time of the processor? Assuming there are
no stalls or hazards, what is the utilization of the
data memory? Assuming there are no stalls or
hazards, what is the utilization of the write-
register port of the ‘Registers” unit?
