$|$Instruc$($ons:

a$)$ You need to show your work.

b$)$ If you assume something, you need to state that.

Problem $1$:

A machine operates several instruc$($ons with MIPS pipeline. There are five pipeline stages in the MIPS pipeline, including IF$,$ ID$,$ EX$,$ MEM, and WB$.$ We assume one clock cycle for each stage.

a$)$ How many clock cycles will be needed to complete $10$ instruc$($ons if the machine is non$-$pipelined?

b$)$ How many clock cycles will be needed to complete $10$ instruc$($ons if the machine uses $5-$stage MIPS pipeline? Please list your assump$($ons explicitly.

c$)$ If the MIPS pipeline has K stages instead of $5,$ how many clock cycles will be needed to complete n instruc$($ons$?$ Please list your assump$($ons explicitly.
