Non-pipeline time is sum of stage times: 10ns. He calculates speedup as Non-Pipeline Time / Pipeline Time. He writes "10 / 3 = 3.33". He circles option (C) 3.33. (80 words) - Good. A Gate 2005 problem is introduced. Two designs D1 and D2 for a synchronous pipeline processor. D1 has 5 stages with execution times 3, 2, 4, 2, 3 nsec. D2 has 5 stages each with 2 nsec execution time. The question asks how much time can be saved using D2 over D1 for executing 100 instructions. The instructor writes down the stage times for D1 and D2. He notes that for D1, the max stage time is 4ns. For D2, it is 2ns. (90 words) - Good. The instructor calculates the total time for D1 and D2. For D1, cycle time is 4ns. Total time = (5 + 100 - 1) * 4 = 104 * 4 = 416ns. For D2, cycle time is 2ns. Total time = (5 + 100 - 1) * 2 = 104 * 2 = 208ns. The time saved is 416 - 208 = 208ns. Wait, he writes "214 nsec" as an option. Let's re-calculate. Maybe he considers the non-pipelined time for D1? No, the question asks for time saved using D2 over D1. He writes "416 - 214 = 20

/ 3 = 2.33". He circles option (C) 3.33. Wait, 10/3 is 3.33. He must have calculated non-pipeline time as 10ns. (110 words) - Trim. Trim: The instructor determines pipeline cycle time. Max stage time 2.5ns + latch 0.5ns = 3ns. Non-pipeline time is sum of stage times: 10ns. He calculates speedup as Non-Pipeline Time / Pipeline Time. He writes "10 / 3 = 3.33".
