4. Consider a CPU that implements two parallel fetch-execute pipelines for superscalar

processing. Show the performance improvement over scalar pipeline processing and

no-pipeline processing, assuming the instruction cycle below:

● a one clock cycle fetch ● a one clock cycle decode ● a three clock cycle execute

and a 50 instruction sequence:

a) No pipelining would require _____ clock cycles:

b) A scalar pipeline would require ____ clock cycles:

c) A superscalar pipeline with two parallel units would require ______ clock cycles:
