$9.[16]$ Assume in a single cycle implementation, the state elements have the following

performance characteristics:

Page $4$ of $5$

a$.[5]$ Find the cycle time needed for each possible instruction type $($R$-$Type, lw$,$ Sw$,$

beq, j$)$

$[2]$ What is the fixed clock cycle time?

b$.[5]$ Now assume a program contains a mix of instructions as follows:

What is the average variable clock cycle time?

c$.[2]$ Let the load be $30\%,$ Store is $5\%,$ R$-$Type is $60\%,$ Branch is $5\%$ and Jump is $0\%$

in question $c).$ What is the average clock cycle time?

d$.[2]$Compare the two average clock times you computed in questions c$)$ and d$)$ above

and briefly comment on the relationship between the percentage of the instructions

in the program and the clock cycle time of the instructions data path.
