Slide 3

1. Consider an unpipelincd or single-stage processor design like the once discussed in slide 3 of lecture16. t the start of a cycle, a new instruction enters the processor and is processed completely within a single cycle. It takes 1,000 ps to navigate all the circuits in a cycle. Therefore, for this design to work, the cycle time has to be at least 1,000 pico seconds. l. What is the clock speed of this processor? (5 points) 2. What is the CPI of this processor, assuming that every loadstone instruction finds its instruction/datain the instruction or data cache? (10 points) 3. What is the throughput of this processor (in billion instructions per second)? (10 points)
