Question: Compute the effective CPI for RISC-V using Figure A.29 and the table above. Average the instruction frequencies of bzip and hmmer to obtain the instruction

Compute the effective CPI for RISC-V using Figure A.29 and the table above. Average the instruction frequencies of bzip and hmmer to obtain the instruction mix. You may assume that all other instructions (for instructions not accounted for by the types in Table A.29) require 3.0 clock cycles each.

Figure A.29

Program astar bzip gec gobmk h264ref hmmer libquantum mcf omnetpp perlbench sjeng
