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

Embedded Software Development

Using specific programming languages (like C and C++) to write code for a specific hardware device in which it runs is called embedded software development. It makes the device smart by performing actions based on user's input which improves the user experience. They are designed to perform function-specific tasks rather than doing multiple tasks like computers. The embedded system is incredibly intuitive. An embedded software system could be a system developed and organized on any device, apart from an old-fashioned computer. It is the brain of a specific device; however, it is a solely useless tool and simple to elucidate what software system is embedded.
