assembly - performance of the ALU is improved by 50% -
in basic mips 5 stage pipeline, if performance of alu improved 50%, impact on overall performance of cpu?
it depends on 2 factors: time each of other stages take , clock-frequency. if of other stages take longer alu, limiting factor. maximum clock-frequency (fmax) limited slowest stage in pipeline. if alu can produce result in 1ns (fmax=1ghz) if of other stages slower, maximum frequency of stage.
