Question 2: Consider the instruction stages and the time taken for each stage for two processors as given in the following table: (4+4+2=10) Processor X Instruction Stage Time of Stage IF 200 ID 120 EX 250 MEM 300 WB 120 Processor Y Instruction Stage Time of Stage IF 150 ID 150 EX 300 MEM 250 WB 150 2 Page 1) Calculate the total time taken for each processor in case of single cycle processor and pipelined processor design. 2) Compute the speed up factor of each processor for pipeline design. 3) Which of the processors is better for pipeline design? Explain.
