Read Chapter 6 through section 6.6. Go back to Figure 6.32, and list the all the pieces of information in each pipeline register and how many bits each piece requires, then tell the total number of bits in each pipeline register. Use Figure 6.27 as your base model, and then add in the extra bits needed for register forwarding. Send your answers to me by email by May 9.

Note: there is a typographical error in Figure 6.32: there should be a line going from ID/EX to the topmost of the three Muxes in the EX stage.
