For this problem assume the pipelined RISC

$-$

V microarchitecture implementation that is shown

in the slide titled: RISC

$-$

V Pipelined Processor with Hazard Unit. That implementation has a

Hazard Unit that handles both data forwarding as well as stalling for load instruction data

hazard. Also assume a memory system that returns the result within one cycle.

The pipelined RISC

$-$

V processor is running the following code segment.

Using a diagram similar to the one in the slide "Stalling to solve Load Data Hazard",

show both the forwardings and stalls needed to execute the above six instructions on

the pipelined RISC

$-$

V processor.
