b) Assume a CPU has to process 1001 sequential instructions using a four-stage pipeline and each instruction goes through fetch (90 nanoseconds), decode (2 nanoseconds), execute (1 nanosecond) and write-back (1 microsecond) stages. a. Calculate the time to process all 1001 instructions. b. Determine the overall throughput.
