CPI stands for clock cycles per instruction.

Speedup from pipelining = (Number of pipeline stages) / (Achieved CPI ). Assume a 5-stage pipeline. Assume that CPI = 1 when there are no pipeline stalls (the ideal case). Now assume that every branch instruction causes a 3 clock cycle stall in the pipeline. Assume that for the program being executed 30% of executed instructions are branch instructions. What speedup from pipelining is achieved by this program?
