| - | This lecture covers the design and implementation of the MIPS CPU using a pipeline. This implementation addresses the two main faults of the single-cycle CPU //not// by eliminating hardware redundancy but by allowing more than one instruction to execute at the same time thereby no hardware unit will be idle. The high latency of the single-cycle approach is also //not/ minimized but it is offset by high throughput. Stage balancing, pipeline structure, and hazard detection and avoidance are the key drivers of pipelining. | + | This lecture covers the design and implementation of the MIPS CPU using a pipeline.
