The goal of the problem is to increase the execution speed ofthe code below by eliminating as many
stalls and useless operations (nop’s in the branch delay slots) aspossible. The code runs on a 5- stage
pipelined MIPS CPU with forwarding with the characteristicsdiscussed in lecture. (10 points)
Note: the branch delay slot is not hidden, i.e. nop‘s in the codebelow are always executed regardless
of the branch decision.
i. Indicate stalls in the code below with arrows right after theinstruction where the stall occurs. The
following is not necessarily correct and only used as an example.(2 points)
