In this problem, we will explore how deepening the pipeline affects performance in two ways: faster clock cycle and increased stalls due to data and control hazards. Assume that the original machine is a 5-stage pipeline with a 1 ns clock cycle. The second machine is a 12-stage pipeline with a 0.6 ns clock cycle. The 5-stage pipeline experiences a stall due to a data hazard every five instructions, whereas the 12-stage pipeline experiences three stalls every eight instructions. In addition, branches constitute 20% of the instructions, and the misprediction rate for both machines is 5%.

a. What is the speedup of the 12-stage pipeline over the 5-stage pipeline, taking into account only data hazards?

b. If the branch mispredict penalty for the first machine is 2 cycles but the second machine is 5 cycles, what are the CPIs of each, taking into account the stalls due to branch mispredictions?

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
