Given these pipeline stage latencies, repeat the speedup calculation from 4.14.3, taking into account the (possible) change in clock cycle time. Assume that the latency ID stage increases by 50% and the latency of the EX stage decreases by 10ps when branch outcome resolution is moved from EX to ID.

Problem 4.14.3

Assuming stall-on-branch and no delay slots, what speedup is achieved on this code if branch outcomes are determined in the ID stage, relative to the execution where branch outcomes are determined in the EX stage?

The remaining problems in this exercise assume that individual pipeline stages have the following latencies:
