Notes: The intervals for the multi-cycle register binding example are incorrect in the provided lecture notes. The correct intervals are provided below. This error does not the final register binding. Additionally, the datapath and controller may be configured differently from the configuration n lecture, although both implementations as valid.

Corrected Intervals: z1: [2,4], z2: [2,4], z3: [4,5], z4: [2,4], z5: [5,6], z6: [4,6], z7: [4,7], z8: [1,2]
