If we don't use buffer in between stages(no store and forward) , what is the time taken to execute two instruction add,mul???

Coming to your question if there is no dependency b/w these two instructions it will take 9 Cycles.and if there is dependency then it will take 11 Cycles. lalitver10 answered Sep 14, 2022 lalitver10 comment Share Follow See all 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
