Have you studied pipelining? List the 5 stages of a 5 stage
pipeline. Assuming 1 clock per stage, what is the latency of
an instruction in a 5 stage machine? What is the throughput
of this machine ?
Answer Posted / manju
the steps are same as mentioned in the above thread jus
putting these in proper order.
1.Instruction fetch
2.decode instruction and read register files
3.data to access from memory
4.execute
5.write back
please correct if it is wrong.

Calculate rise delay of a 3-input NAND gate driving a 3-input NOR gate through a 6mm long and 0.45m wide metal wire with sheet resistance R = 0.065 / and Cpermicron= 0.25 fF/m. The resistance and capacitance of the unit NMOS are 6.5k and 2.5fF. Use a 3 segment -model for the wire. Consider PMOS and NMOS size of reference inverter as 2 and 1 respectively. Use appropriate sizing for the NAND and NOR gate.
