Consider a sequence of five independent instructions running on a pipelined processor. There are no interlocks and no data dependencies between instructions, and each instruction takes one cycle to execute. The processor has three pipeline stages and is not superscalar.
How many cycles does it take to fetch, decode and execute all five instructions in sequence, assuming that there are no pipeline stalls?
Which of the following is an advantage of the single-step debug technique?
Which of the following operations would count as intrusive to normal processor operation?
The effect of clicking the Stop button in a debugger is to:
