option (c)

If CPU leaves current instruction execution. the state of CPU including PC-value(next instruction's address) can be stored in memory, but while returning back CPU cannot detect till what level previous instruction was executed.

Q. Consider an instruction pipeline with five stages without any branch prediction. Fetch Instruction (FI), Decode Instruction (DI), Fetch Operand (FO), Execute Instruction (EI) and Write Operand (WO). The stage delays for FI, DI, FO, EI and WO are 5 ns, 7 ns, 10 ns, 8 ns and 6 ns, respectively. There are intermediate storage buffers after each stage and the delay of each buffer is 1 ns. A program consisting of 12 instruction

I_{1}, I_{2}, I_{3}, . . . . . I_{12}

Q. An instruction pipeline takes x-cycles to execute n-number of instructions without any hazard, with hazard same n- instructions are executed in y-cycles. This hazard is a branching hazard in which each branch instruction causes 2 stall cycles. There are 54 branch instructions among n =200 total instructions. If value of y = 312.
