Say Machine with 10ns click and takes 4 cycles for AlU and other operations.
When we talk about the time taken by pipelined processor it is = the highest time taken by a stage + overhead
We took the highest time only because we know that there is no stalling so CPI is 1 for pipelined.
When we say Cpi is 1 it means that:-
Suppose if there are n processes then first process will take K*Tp time where K is stage and Tp is highest duration and after that every process will take Tp time so on an average it takes CPI is 1 am i right?
If not plz explain why then CPI is one in all cases when stalls aren't there.
And plz explain the cpi for non pipelined processor .
