A RISC processor has an eight stage pipeline: F D O E1 E2 MR MW WB (fetch, decode, register read operands, execute 1, execute 2, memory read, memory write, result writeback to register). Simple logical and arithmetic operations are complete by the end of E1. Multiplication is complete by the end of E2.How many cycles are required to execute the following code assuming that internal forwarding is not used?
MUL r0,r1,r2
ADD r3,r1,r4
ADD r5,r1,r6
ADD r6,r5,r7
LDR r1,[r2]
There’s only one RAW dependency in instruction 4 involving r5. The total number of cycles is 17.
