MIPs-Pipeline-Optimized

Update — Data Forwarding

Added data forwarding to the Execute stage to reduce the number of NOPs needed between dependent instructions.

Results

Version	NOPs Needed	Cycles to Finish
Without forwarding	15 NOPs	~20 cycles
With forwarding	2 NOPs	~14 cycles

Files Changed

• execute.v — forwarding unit added
• idExLatch.v — added rs field pass-through
• decode.v — added rs output port
• mips_pipeline.v — wired forwarding signals

Output

FINAL REGISTERS: r1=12 r2=2 r3=3
PASS: r1 is 12 as expected.
