Question:

Suppose the MIPS pipelined processor is divided into 10 stages of 400 ps each, including sequencing overhead. Assume the instruction mix of Example 7.7. Also assume that 50% of the loads are immediately followed by an instruction that uses the result, requiring six stalls, and that 30% of the branches are mispredicted. The target address of a branch or jump instruction is not computed until the end of the second stage. Calculate the average CPI and execution time of computing 100 billion instructions from the SPECINT2000 benchmark for this 10-stage pipelined processor.
