From the multisim simulator, perform the limit study for each functional units on
1) Baseline IPC
2) Perfect branch predictor
3) Infinite machine width including ALU, Multipliers and Load/Store ports (can
set it to large numbers)
4) Infinite RUU size
5) Zero memory latency for memory access time (Extra credits if you can remove
cache from this memory access time)
6) Zero branch mis-prediction penalty
7) Find the best architecture with less amount of additional features
Note that for each program, you need to run fast forwarding for 1 billion instructions
and run the program for 100 million instructions. If you cannot set the infinite size, try
to set it as largest as possible. Similarly , if you cannot set 0 latency, try to set it as
small as possible.
