• (and, incidentally, shells)

Pipelining Exercises - Optional

• You should make sure that you understand pipelining well enough to answer the following questions from the book. You will not need to hand these in, and may not want to actually work through all of them. (My suggestion is to complete the ones that are estimated to take 5 minutes, and to be confident that you could complete the longer ones.)
• 6.1-6.4, 6.7-6.16, 6.18-6.20, 6.22, 6.27
• Note that 6.35 is the pipeline implementation that we are not doing this quarter (and that the estimated time is one month).

• Implementing control
• Memory-mapped IO
