Q48

A non-pipelined instruction execution unit operating at $2 \mathrm{GHz}$ takes an average of $6$ cycles to execute an instruction of a program $\text{P}$. The unit is then redesigned to operate on a $5$ -stage pipeline at $2 \mathrm{GHz}$. Assume that the ideal throughput of the pipelined unit is $1$ instruction per cycle. In the execution of program $\text{P}$, $20 \%$ instructions incur an average of $2$ cycles stall due to data hazards and $20 \%$ instructions incur an average of $3$ cycles stall due to control hazards. The speedup (rounded off to one decimal place) obtained by the pipelined design over the non-pipelined design is ____________.
