7. Forwarding and Hazard detection worked fine, but it in turn resulted in infinite loops. Branch prediction was not functioning as desired, led to stalls more often. Getting the pipelined version to run properly due to forwarding and hazard detection errors.

8. Forwarding and Hazard detection units were rectified and it gave desired results. The errors which led to infinite loops were corrected. Branch prediction was tackled in a different way : Code was reordered to minimize the stalls, thus Branch prediction gave expected results and fewer stalls. Voila !!! The pipelined version is up and working perfectly !!!
