Question 14

A non pipelined single cycle processor operating at 100 MHz is converted into a synchro­nous pipelined processor with five stages requiring 2.5 nsec, 1.5 nsec, 2 nsec, 1.5 nsec and 2.5 nsec, respectively. The delay of the latches is 0.5 nsec. The speedup of the pipeline processor for a large number of instructions is

A
4.5
B
4.0
C
3.33
D
3.0
Question 14 Explanation: 
For non-pipelined system time required = 2.5 + 1.5 + 2.0 + 1.5 + 2.5 = 10
For pipelined system = Max(stage delay) + Max(latch delay) = 2.5 + 0.5 = 3.0
Speedup = Time in non-pipelined system/Time in pipelined system = 10/3 = 3.33
Correct Answer: C
Question 14 Explanation: 
For non-pipelined system time required = 2.5 + 1.5 + 2.0 + 1.5 + 2.5 = 10
For pipelined system = Max(stage delay) + Max(latch delay) = 2.5 + 0.5 = 3.0
Speedup = Time in non-pipelined system/Time in pipelined system = 10/3 = 3.33
