Consider a non pipelined machine with 6 stages. the length of each stage are 20ns, 10ns, 30ns, 25ns, 40ns, and 15ns respectively. Suppose for implementing the pipelining the machine adds 5ns of overhead to each stage for clock skew and set up. What is the speed up factor of the pipelining system (ignoring any hazard impact) ?
Correct Answer: C
Non pipelined machine with 6 stages,
Length of each stage=20,10,30,25,40,15 ns.
Implementing the pipelining the machine adds each stage=5ns overhead.
Speed up factor of the pipelining system=?
Step-1: Non pipeline for 1 instruction to all stages=20+10+30+25+40+15 ns
=140 ns
Step-2: Per cycle adds 5ns overhead to each stage =25,15,35,30,45,20 ns
= 45 ns
Step-3: Speedup factor= Time non pipelining / Time with pipeline
= 140/45
= 3.11 ns
