Architecture
Pipelining
We design a pipelined processor by subdividing the
single-cycle processor into five pipeline stages.
Thus, five instructions can execute simultaneously,
one in each stage. Because each stage has only
one-fifth of the entire logic, the clock frequency is
approximately five times faster.

Pipeline Hazards
Pipeline Hazard

● Structural Hazard
1. Hardware does not support the execution of instruction in same clock cycle.
2. Without having Two memories RISC-V pipelining architecture will have structural hazard.

● Data Hazard
1. Data to be executed is not available.
2. May occur when pipeline is stalled.
3. Solve by using forwarding or bypassing technique.
