Given: MIPS Programming in MIPS Assembly Language

Assume: Load, Store, R-format, and Jump (j) instructions have CPI = 1

Assume: Branch and jr or ja Instructions (e.g., branches) have CPI = 2

Assume: All MIPS system calls (e.g., for printing) have CPI = 3

Assume: Variable x stored in register $s1, y in $s2, z in $s3, i in $t0

Express the following precondition loop in MIPS assembly language

 x := 0 ; i := 5 ; # Document each MIPS statement while (x < 10) do: { x := x + 2 ; i := i - 1} syscall(print, "Did ", i , " iterations")

How many cycles are used by your MIPS program?

(I would really appreciate it if you could explain how you found the number of cycles)
