If the control system has dedicated ALUs and with the new data path included, an
alternative general ALU is available that will run additions (and subtractions) in half the
time (ex: 120ps vs.240ps) but non-addition ALU operations now take a stall as
processing time overhead. What would be the total speedup with all improvements of the
pipelined system if 80% of ALU operations were additions?
