4. (20) Assume that we have a single-cycle processor (1 instruction execution per cycle) with the following delays: Read memory 4 ns, Write memory 3 ns, Read register file 5 ns, Write register file 4.5 ns, ALU 4.5 ns, all other operations 0 ns. (a) What is the minimum clock period of this processor? You must explain how to find the answer. (b) Please suggest one method to improve the performance (response time) of the given single-cycle processor. (Any valid idea can be accepted.)
