Which of the following statements are correct? Allowing jumps, branches, and ALU instructions to take fewer stages than the five required by the load instruction will increase pipeline performance under all circumstances. Trying to allow some instructions to take fewer cycles does not help, since the throughput is determined by the clock cycle; the number of pipe stages per instruction affects latency, not throughput. You cannot make ALU instructions take fewer cycles because of the writeback of the result, but branches and jumps can take fewer cycles, so there is some opportunity for improvement. Instead of trying to make instructions take fewer cycles, we should explore making the pipeline longer, so that instructions take more cycles, but the cycles are shorter. This could improve performance.

Determine the clock cycle at which each of the instructions in the sequence given below would be completed, assuming the 5-stage pipeline without forwarding , and numbering the clock cycle at which the first of the instructions is fetched as clock cycle 1. Assume that if one instruction reads a register during the same clock cycle as another instruction is writing it, the new value will be read. Do not reorder the instructions. Instructions are fetched and executed exactly in the ordergiven below, with the pipeline stalling if necessary.addi $s2, $s2,1add $s6,$s1,$s3add $s1,$s2,$s3lw $s5,0($s1)lw $t1,0($s5)
We want to design a new K-format instruction for a branch-equal-immediate. A: What information would need to be encoded in a beq R2, 7, loop instruction? B: Why can't we have a beq R2, 7, loop instruction? and C: How could we fix this? Hint: think about the instruction encodings and what we need to encode such an instruction. A: beq R2, 7, loop needs to encode: B: Why can't we have this with the R/I/J formats? Name R-Format I-format J-format K-format C: What tradeoff could we make to implement a K-format?

Please indicate whether this following statements are true or false and WHY? The MIPS load instruction needs to access memory once. If a branch is taken, the PC will be set to the next sequential instruction. To optimize performance in general, we should first focus on the rare cases.
The answer is true, even if the time it takes to execute pipeline instructions is not spread uniformly. Where have the problems in this situation been identified?
Please following the steps using mars. Thanks in advance
We have three 4-bit registers A, B, and C available, each with the standard "Load" input. When "Load" is at 1, then 4-bit data available on the input of a register is loaded into the register at the next rising clock edge. Assume registers A and B are already loaded with 4-bit data representing unsigned numbers. We need to design the data path for the following case: If value stored in register A is an odd number, then register C should be loaded with the sum of values present in A and B registers; else, register C should be loaded with binary value 0000. Your design may include standard logic gates, adders, and multiplexers.

Please look at the question properly, it is asking for the machine code for the MIPS instruction below. Please write thorougly so I am able to understand it.
Here are some Sequential Assembly Instructions. Fill out the Flag Registers' table based on the operations: (Just remember they are Sequential, so almost every instruction depends on the previous one) (R2=0010 1101 and R3= 1010 0011) a) ADD R1, R2, R3 adds the values in registers R2 and R3 and stores the result in R1. compares the values in registers R1 and R2. It doesn't store the result but b) CMP R1, R2 affects flags OR R1, R2, R3 performs a bitwise OR operation between the values in registers R2 and R3, and stores the result in R1. c) shifts the value in register R2 three bits to the left and stores the result in increments the value in register R1 by 1. d) SLA R1, R2, #3 R1. e) INC RI a b.

Do you know what would happen if an instruction was rejected? TLBs controlled by software are quicker than those controlled by hardware in the following situations:
We wish to execute a single LC-3 instruction that will subtract the decimal number 33 from R1 and put the result in R2. Can we do it? a. No, because the smallest number that fits 5 bits is -32b. No, because we don't have SUB instruction to subtractc. No, because the smallest number that fits 5 bits is -16d. Yes, we can do it with a single instruction.e. none of the above.
