Question

In this exercise, we examine how pipelining affects the clock cycle time of the processor. Problems in this question assume that individual stages of the datapath have the following latencies:

 

IF

Id

EX

MEM

WB

a

250ps

350ps

150ps

300ps

200ps

b

200ps

170ps

220ps

210ps

150ps

Questions:

3.1.         What is the clock cycle time in a pipelined and non-pipelined processor?

  1. What is the total latency of an LDUR instruction in a pipelined and non-pipelined processor?

3.3          If we can split one stage of the pipelined datapath into two new 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?
