Consider a 6-stage instruction pipeline, where all stages are perfectly balanced. Assume that there is no cycle-time overhead of pipelining. When an application is executing on this 6-stage pipeline, the speedup achieved with respect to non-pipelined execution if 25% of the instructions incur 2 pipeline stall cycles is _________.
Correct Answer: A
Question 40 Explanation:
For 6 stages, non- pipelining takes 6 cycles.
There were 2 stall cycles for pipelining for 25% of the instructions.
So pipeline time =(1+(25/100)*2)=3/2=1.5
Speed up =Non-pipeline time / Pipeline time=6/1.5=4
