Consider the design of a stalling control for a pipelined implementation of the MIPS data path

(a) Design the Hazard Detection Unit that triggers the Stall Control Mechanism by activating a flag (hazard detected).

(b) Define the control lines that need to be used / added to the figure in Problem 1 to enable the stalling mechanism. Explain how your solution stalls the pipe for the exact number of clock cycles needed. Does your solution work when more than one hazard is found in the pipeline?

Consider the pipelined implementation (without forwarding and/or stalling) of the MIPS microprocessor as given below. register 1 register Registers Road register
