Question:

What would be the baseline performance (in cycles, per loop iteration) of the code sequence in Figure 2.35 if no new instruction execution could be initiated until the previous instruction execution had completed? Ignore front-end fetch and decode. Assume for now that execution does not stall for lack of the next instruction, but only one instruction/cycle can be issued. Assume the branch is taken, and that there is a 1 cycle branch delay slot.
