In this question we examine how resource hazards, control hazards, and instruction set architecture (isa) design can affect pipelined execution. problems in this exercise refer to the following fragment of mips
code
sw r16,12(r6)
lw r16,8(r6)
beq r5,r4,label #assume r4=! 4
add r5,r1,r4
slt r5,r15,r4

pipeline latencies:
if id ex mem wb
200 120 150 190 100ps

for this problem, assume that all branches are perfectly predicted (this eliminates all control hazards) and that no delay slots are used. if we only have one memory (for both instructions and data), there is a structural hazard every time we need to fetch an instruction in the same cycle in which another instruction accesses data. to guarantee forward progress, this hazard must always be resolved in favor ofthe instruction that accesses data. what is the total execution time of this instruction sequence in the 5- stage pipeline that only has one memory? we have seen that data hazards can be eliminated by adding nops to the code. can you do the same with this structural hazard? why?

the answer is you.

a  social news website  is an  internet  website  that features  user-posted stories. such stories are ranked based on popularity, as voted on by other users of the site or by website administrators. users typically comment online on the news posts and these comments may also be ranked in popularity. since their emergence with the birth of  web 2.0, social news sites have been used to link many types of information, including news, humor, support, and discussion. all such websites allow the users to submit content and each site differs in how the content is moderated. on the  slashdot  and  fark  websites,  administrators  decide which articles are selected for the front page. on  reddit  and  digg, the articles that get the most votes from the community of users will make it to the front page. many social news websites also feature an online comment system, where users discuss the issues raised in an article. some of these sites have also applied their voting system to the comments, so that the most popular comments are displayed first. some social news websites also have a  social networking  function, in that users can set up a user profile and follow other users' online activity on the website.
