Answer :
Answer:
The stalling hurt the performance by 60%.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Value of CPI ideally taken by pipeline = 1
From the question, we are given:
Stall frequency = 20%,
Number of frequency = 3
Therefore, we have:
Cycles per instruction (CPI) of the architecture = Value of CPI ideally taken by pipeline + (Stall frequency * Number of frequency) = 1 + (20% * 3) = 1.60
Amount by which the stalling hurt the performance = Cycles per instruction (CPI) of the architecture Value of CPI ideally taken by pipeline = 1 - 0.60 = 0.60, or 60%
Therefore, the stalling hurt the performance by 60%.
