Question

Draw the space time diagram for a 6-segment pipeline showing the time it takes to process 8 no of tasks.Determine the no of clock cycle that it takes to process 200 tasks.

Answer 1

1st task would need 6 clock cycles to come out of pipeline and then remaining 7 tasks would need 1 clock cycle each = total 13 clock cycles.

So 200 tasks would need =  6+199 clock cycles  = 205 clock cycles.

Comments

in case of 200 task why answer would not be 6 + 199 i.e 205 clock cycle instead of 399 clocks
