Question: A RISC processor executes the following code. There are no data dependencies. ADD r0, r1,r2 ADD r3, r4, r5 ADD r6, r7, r8 ADD r9,

A RISC processor executes the following code. There are no data dependencies.

ADD r0, r1,r2

ADD r3, r4, r5

ADD r6, r7, r8

ADD r9, r10, r11

ADD r12, r13, r14

ADD r15, r16, r17

a) Assuming a four-stage pipeline (fetch, operand fetch, execute, and write) what registers are being read during the sixth clock cycle and what register is being written?

my attempt at creating a pipeline diagram

123456(cycles) FOEW ------------ADD r0, r1, r2 ---FOEW ---------ADD r3, r4, r5 ----FOEW --------ADD r6, r7, r8 -------FOEW -----ADD r9, r10, r11 ----------FOEW --ADD r12, r13, r14 ------------FOEW ADD r15, r16, 17

I'm thinking during the sixth cycle r6 is being written but not sure which are being read.
