2 A 5 stage pipelined CPU has the following sequence of stages:
IF - Instruction fetch from instruction memory,
RD - Instruction decode and register read,
EX - Execute: ALU operation for data and address computation,
MA - Data memory access - for write access, the register read at RD stage is used,
WB - Register write back.
Consider the following sequence of instructions:
I1 : L R0, 1oc1; R0 <= M[1oc1]
I2 : A R0, R0; R0 <= R0 + R0
I3: A R2, R0; R2 <= R2 - R0
Let each stage take one clock cycle.
What is the number of clock cycles taken to complete the above sequence of instructions starting from the fetch of I1?
Options
A) 8 B) 10
C) 12 D) 15
