A computer has a pipeline with four stages. Each stage takes the same time to do its

work, namely, 1 nsec. How many instructions per second can this machine execute?

Wouldn t it be 250000000 instructions per second since each there are four stages so it takes 4ns for each instruction to go through the pipeline, no?

    3ns (for first instruction to go down the pipeline).

    10^9 ns per second. 10^9 - 3 = 999999997 instructions.
