Pipelining is a form of instruction-level parallelism that is implemented by running multiple instruction execution cycles so that: A. Sequential instructions can be in different stages of the cycles at the same time. B. Sequential instructions can be executed simultaneously. C. Each instruction can be processed by multiple CPUs to verify accuracy. D. An n-stage pipeline can guarantee that a program will run in T/n time (where T is the time to run the program without pipelining). E. None of those.

Step 1
Now, let's look at the options: A. Sequential instructions can be in different stages of the cycles at the same time - This is correct. Pipelining allows for different stages of instruction execution to occur simultaneously, which increases the overall speed of Show more…

A simple processor has 3 major phases to its instructions cycle: 1. Fetch 2. Decode 3. Execute Two 1 -bit flags are used to specify the current phase in hardwired implementation. Will these flags required in micro-programming also? (A) Yes (B) No (C) Cannot predict (D) Depends on clock cycle time

Assume that a pipelined processor has three categories of instructions: Branch, load/store, other. If it is a branch instruction it will take 3 clock cycles, if it is a load/ store instruction it will take 4 clock cycles and all other instructions require 6 clock cycles. A program consisting of $10 \%$ Branch instructions, $10 \%$ of load/store instructions is executed on this processor. Then the number of clock cycles required for the execution of the program is (A) $2.45$ (B) $3.61$ (C) $4.66$ (D) $5.5$
