What is the theoretical upper bound on the CPI metric for a RISC processor without superscalar facilities?

What will be an ideal response?


The best you can do in a pipelined processor with one execution unit is one instruction per cycle. This implies no mispredicted branches, no data hazards that cannot be resolved by data forwarding, no load and store latencies, and no latencies called by instructions competing for the same resources.
