Scalar vs Superpipelining

Recommended Posts

5 R-type instructions are to be executed on a 5-stage (scalar) pipelined processor.

here are no dependencies among the instructions.

 

If this same instruction sequence is executed instead on a degree-2 super-pipelined version of our processor, what speedup factor would be provided if no other changes are made?

 

l know that a degree-2 super-pipelined system splits each stage into 2 phases so that the time required for the two phases is the same as the original clock cycle time.
