Consider the following emission delays for the circuit in Figure 4.24 , page 271 of the book computer organization and design by david patterson.
a) Calculate the maximum time required to execute the LW, SLT, J, BEQ, ADDI and AND commands.
b) What is the critical path of this processor?
c) What is the maximum frequency of this processor?
nstr. memory read/write: 1.2ns
Data memory read/write: 1.4ns
Register file read/write: 0.5ns
Any ALU operation: 0.5ns
Any 2 to 1 mux: 0.1ns
Any adder (except ALU adder): 0.4ns
