Given the following instruction sequence for the MIPS processor with the standard 5 stage pipeline $10, S0. 4 addi lw S2.0(S10) add sw S2,4(510) $2, $2, $2 Show the data dependences between the instructions above by drawing arrows between dependent instructions (only show true/data dependencies). a. Assuming forwarding support, in what cycle would the store instruction write back to memory? Show the cycle by cycle execution of the instructions as they execute in the pipeline. Also, show any stalls...

Include stalls/nops in the code so it executes correctly in the cases of (i) No forwarding (ii) ALU-ALU for warding, (iii) Full forwarding b.

We found that the instruction fetch and memory stages are the
critical path of our 5-stage pipelined MIPS CPU. Therefore, we
changed the IF and MEM stages to take two cycles
while increasing the clock rate. You can assume that the register
file is written at the falling edge of the clock.
Assume that no pipelining optimizations have been made, and that
branch comparisons are made by the ALU. Here’s how our pipeline
looks when executing two add instructions:
