If you can speed up the generation of control signals, but the cost of the entire processor

Question:

If you can speed up the generation of control signals, but the  cost of the entire processor increases by $1 for each 5ps improvement of a single control signal, which control signals would you speed up and by how much  to maximize performance? What is the cost (per processor) of this performance  improvement?


The remaining problems in this exercise assume that the time needed by the control unit to generate individual control signals is as followsRegDst Jump Branch MemRead MemtoReg ALUOp MemWrite ALUSrc RegWrite 500ps 500ps 450ps 200ps b. 1100ps 1000ps
