Clock Cycles Per Instruction (CPI) Calculator

Calculate Clock Cycles Per Instruction (CPI)



Formula

The formula to calculate Clock Cycles Per Instruction (CPI) is:

\[ \text{CPI} = \frac{\text{C}}{\text{I}} \]

Where:

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the Clock Cycles Per Instruction:

\[ \text{CPI} = \frac{1000000}{250000} = 4 \, \text{cycles/instruction} \]

This demonstrates that with 1,000,000 cycles and 250,000 instructions, the CPI would be 4 cycles per instruction.
