Programming Assignment #1: In-order 5-stage pipeline design (Due 9/10 6pm, T-Square)

• Assignment #1
• FAQ
• How to compile sim.cpp without pin.
  • please download common.h, trace.h userknob.h and type "g++ -lz sim.cpp"
    
  • Note that compiling without pin feature is provided to help your debug. Your solution must be compiled with the original header files and makefile and must be executed using Pin.
    
  • How to run a simulation?
    
    Just type "./a.out". This method does not take any arguments.
    
  • Using this method, you have to change knob variables (input parameters) and trace file names manually in the userknob.h and trace.h files every time you like to change the values.
    

• Test cases
  sim.cpp

     if (FE_latch->op) 

  in print_pipeline function should be changed to

   if(FE_latch->op_valid)
