Could the LC series processors be made to run faster if it had a second bus? If your answer was no, what else would you need?

What will be an ideal response?


Another ALU
An additional mux
A TPRF

The LC Series processors could not be made to run faster if it had a second bus. However, if it also had a DRPF (Dual Ported Register File), instead of the temporary A and B registers, it could run faster. Using a DRPF to get values to be operands for the ALU will enable both buses to drive values to the DRPF at the same time, allowing the ALU operations and therefore overall performance of the processor to run faster.
