Question:

What is the speedup achieved by changing the processor from 4-issue to 8-issue? Assume that the 8-issue and the 4-issue processor differ only in the number of instructions per cycle, and are otherwise identical (pipeline depth, branch resolution stage, etc.).


The remaining problems in this exercise assume the following pipeline depth and that the branch outcome is determined in the following pipeline stage (counting from stage 1):a. b. Pipeline Depth 15 30 Branch Outcome Known in Stage 12 20
