I'm given stages of a clock cycle in a processor.
IF ID EX MEM WB
250ps 350ps 150ps 300ps 200ps
Now I'm being asked what is the total latency of a LW instruction in a pipelined instruction.
Here's what I know:
The clock cycle time in a pipelined version is 350ps because that's the longest instruction.
The clock cycle time in a non-pipelined version is 1250ps because that's the duration of all the instructions added together.
But how does the "latency of a LW instruction" relate to those times?
