Question

On computer X, a nonpipelined instruction execution would require 12 ns. A pipelined implementation uses 6 equal-length stages of 2 ns each. Assuming one million instructions execute and ignoring empty stages at the start/end, what is the speedup of the pipelined vs. non-pipelined implementation

Answer 1

Answer:

5.99997

Explanation:

We can refer to Pipelining as an implementation technique where multiple instructions are overlapped in execution. The computer pipeline is divided in stages. Each stage completes a part of an instruction in parallel.

It increases instruction throughput
