title: Pipeline Processor Calculation
body: <p>My assignment deals with calculations of pipelined CPU and single cycle CPU clock rates.</p>
  
  <p>The following data is given, about the time each operation takes to execute:</p>
  
  <pre><code>IF:400 PS
  ID:100 PS
  EX:350 PS 
  MEM:700 PS
  WB:100 PS
  
  A. What is the clock frequency if the CPU works as a single cycle? How long does it take to execute a single operation?
  B. What is the clock frequency if the CPU works as a Pipelines CPU? How long does it take to execute a single operation?
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know that for A a single operation takes 1650 ps  to execute because in a single cycle CPU we have to perform every stage to execute a single operation. What I don't understand is why is the frequency 0.606? </p>
  
  <p>For B, I know that to execute we have 700 Ps, because a pipelined CPU takes to longest stage as the CPU as the time. What I don't know, is what is the answer to the frequency question?</p>
  
  <p>Any help is blessed.</p>
