The propagation times for a pipeline system is given by segment1 =40 ns, segment2=10 ns, segment3=30 ns and segment4= 5 ns.
a- What is the pipeline clock cycle?
b- How long it takes to perform n operations without pipelining using the clock cycle in (a)
c- Calculate the speedup of the pipeline for repeating the operation for 1000 tasks.
d- Repeat a-c if the largest segment is split into two segments.
