Suppose you executed the code below on a 5 stage in order pipelined system that
does not handle data hazards.
Also, the register file HAS the feature of reading and writing in the same clock cycle (i.e. fast register file (or) half-cycle writeback). For example, if the old value of x1 is 10. Now, lets assume that in Clock Cycle 5(CC5), we are both writing a new value of 20 to x1 and also reading x1 in the same clock cycle. Then, the output value from the read would be 20 courtesy of the fast register file (or) half-cycle writeback feature. This new value of 20 will be available in x1 in CC5.
In this context, what will be the final values of registers x13, x14, and x15 at the end of this code block?
