pipeline.xls
a spreadsheet showing the cycle counts of a pipelined and non-pipelined machine. Also, you should show the 4 stage pipeline with your instructions flowing through the pipe with stalls highlighted in RED.
cache.xls a spreadsheet showing the cycle counts of a cached and non-cached machine. Also, you need to show the cache as the memory accesses progress in your program marking the hits and misses (misses in RED). You should have cells to show how many hits and how many misses your program has, and details on what is the cache replacement policy you implemented.
compiler_optimizations.txt = a file that has some C code snippets and a chosen loop and straight line optimization. Explain how each optimization improves the code and what assembly functions are saved. I recommend loop unrolling and sub-expression elimination.
