pipeline

The instruction pipeline of a $$RISC$$ processor has the following stages: Instruction Fetch $$(IF),$$ Instruction Decode $$(ID),$$ Operand Fetch $$(OF),$$ Perform Operation $$(PO)...

The stage delays in a $$4$$-stage pipeline are $$800, 500, 400$$ and $$300$$ picoseconds. The first stage (with delay $$800$$ picoseconds) is replaced with a functionally equivalen...

An instruction pipeline has five stages, namely, instruction fetch $$(IF),$$ instruction decode and register fetch $$(ID/RF)$$ instruction execution $$(EX),$$ memory access $$(MEM)...

Consider a $$6$$-stage instruction pipeline, where all stages are perfectly balanced. Assume that there is no cycle-time overhead of pipelining. When an application is executing on...

In an instruction execution pipeline, the earliest that the data $$TLB$$ (Translation Look aside Buffer) can be accessed is

A CPU has five stages pipeline and runs at $$1$$ $$GHz$$ frequency. Instruction fetch happens in the first stage of the pipeline. A conditional branch instruction computes the targ...

An instruction pipeline has five stages where each stage takes $$2$$ nanoseconds and all instructions use all five stages. Branch instructions are not overlapped, i.e., the instruc...
