Consider a 4 stage pipeline processor. The number of cycles needed by the four instructions I1, I2, I3, I4 in stages S1, S2, S3, S4 is shown below:
| S1 | S2 | S3 | S4 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 12 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 2 |
| 13 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| 14 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
What is the number of cycles needed to execute the following loop? For (I = 1 to 2) {I1; I2; I3; I4;}
