DO NOT ANSWER: Assume that individual stages of the datapath in a given architecture have the following latencies: IF ID EX MEM WB 230ps 250ps 160ps 360ps 240ps Also, assume that instructions executed by the processor are broken down as follows: alu beq lw sw 40% 27% 18% 15% a. (5 points) What is the clock cycle time in a pipelined and non-pipelined processor? b. (5 points) Assuming that there are no stalls or hazards and both pipeline and non-pipelined processors have the same clock rate, how many times is the pipelined processor faster than the non-pipelined one? c. (5 points) If we can split one stage of the pipelined datapath into two new stages, each with half the latency of the original stage, which stage would you split and what is the new clock cycle time of the processor? d. (5 points) Assuming there are no stalls or hazards, what is the utilization of the data memory? e. (5 points) Assuming there are no stalls or hazards, what is the utilization of the write-register port of the “Registers” unit?

A country is more likely to face a trade deficit if

For the following C statement, what is the corresponding MIPS assembly code? Assume that the variables i and j are assigned to registers $s0 and $s1, respectively and the base address of the arrays A and B are in registers $s6 and $s7, respectively. B[i] = A[B[j]+12];

An organization committed to lowering barriers to trade between countries

Import quotas are numerical limitations on the 

Who usually pays a tariff?

Factors that can lead to shift of the short run aggregate supply curve include:

Keynes believed that increases in aggregate demand at points below Potential GDP increases total output and increases in aggregate demand at points on the vertical portion of the Aggregate Supply curve

It is sometimes argued that a nation should not depend too heavily on other countries for supplies of certain key products such as weapons or oil.  This argument is commonly known as the
