A program runs in 15 seconds on computer X, which has a 4 Ghz clock. You are required to help a computer designer to build another computer, Y, that will run the program in 10 seconds. The designer has determined that a substantial increase in the clock rate is possible, but this increase will affect the rest of the CPU design, causing computer Y to require 1.5 times as many clock cycles as computer for this program. What clock rate should you tell the designer to target? Select one: a.0.3 Ghz b.8 Ghz c.9 Ghz d.3 Ghz

If we modify the CPU clock speed knowing the CPU is printed and the electrical speed cannot be changed, what happens physically?
Consider the following scenario. Please share your understanding of a multi-core processor and how it works then explain which student is correct and why. Your post should be at least two paragraphs. Scenario: One friend claims that a dual-core system runs at twice the speed as a single-core system; another friend disagrees by saying that it runs twice as many programs at the same time; a third friend says it runs twice as much data at the same time.
A benchmark program to evaluate the performance of a processor spends 80% of its time on floating-point commands and 20% on non-floating point commands. A design team wants to obtain an overall speedup of 40% over the existing run time of this benchmark program by speeding up ONLY the non-floating point commands. What should be the ratio of the non-floating point commands new runtime to that of its old runtime? Select the best answer. This is a trick question! In this scenario, it is impossible to speed up only the non-floating point commands to obtain an overall 40% speedup! 2 0.5 2.5
What is the CPU utilization if there are 5 processes running at the same time and on average the CPU spends 30% of its time waiting on I/O completion?
Your favorite computer program (after being converted to MIPS assembly code, then to machine code) results in 2.5e8 instructions. Consider the three different CPUs and their clock rates and CPIs and determine how much time it would take each of them to execute this program.

To what degree do the Whetstone, Dhrystone, and Linpack benchmarks include errors that are corrected by the SPEC CPU benchmarks?
Answer the given question with a proper explanation and step-by-step solution. This question is based on the EASY68K simulated processor. Assume the contents of all data and address registers are equal to zero before the start of the program. All numbers are in hexadecimal. Demonstrate how instructions of a program are executed by using the E114 Processor Instruction Set of the EASY68K simulator. The figure above is an incomplete program to add up the first 6 data items ($1 to $6) stored at address label DATA and store the sum of the first 6 data items to address label SUM1. Finish the program to accomplish the task.
How to measure a computer performance ? 2. Suppose we have a program runs in 100 seconds on a computer, and the multiplication subroutine takes 40 seconds. If we want the program to run 30% faster, how many seconds do we have to improve the multiplication subroutine ? 3. There are 2 computers. Computer A clock cycle time is 350ps, CPI is 3. Computer B clock cycle time is 400ps, CPI is 2.5. Which computer runs faster on same program ?
1. System A takes 80 seconds to run a program. The same program takes 50 seconds to run on a new system B. What is the speedup provided by B over A? What is the performance improvement (percentage of performance improvement) of B over A? 2. Anna designs a 2.5 GHz processor where two important programs, A and B, take one second each to execute. Each program has a CPI of 1.25. Elsa is tasked with designing the company's next-generation processor and she comes up with an idea that improves the CPI of A to 1.1 and the CPI of B to 0.9. But the idea is so complex that the processor can only be implemented with a cycle time of 0.5 ns. Does Elsa's new processor out-perform Anna's processor on program A? How about on program B? 3. A program executes 200 billion instructions. It executes on an IBM processor that has an average CPI of 1.2 and a clock frequency of 4.0 GHz. How many seconds does the program take to execute? What is the cycle time of this IBM processor? Assume that an ARM processor…
The table below shows instruction-type breakdown for different programs. Using this data, you will be exploring the performance trade-offs for different changes made to an MIPS processor. Class A Class B Class C Class D Total Program1 90 100 30 10 ? Program2 110 70 20 20 ? Calculate the total instructions required by each of the programs. Assuming that Class A take 1 cycle (CPI) , B and C instructions take 2 cycles, and D take 3 cycles, find the execution time for both the programs on a 3 GHz Processor. What is the speedup if the number of A instruction can be reduced by half and D instructions increased to double? (for both the programs)
