Consider a 32-bit microprocessor whose bus cycle is the same duration as that of a 16-bit microprocessor. Assume that, on average, 20% of the operands and instructions are 32 bits long, 40% are 16 bits long, and 40% are only 8 bits long. Calculate the improvement achieved when fetching instructions and operands with the 32-bit microprocessor.

Assume that a RISC processor takes 2 microseconds to execute each instruction and that an I/O device can wait at most 1 millisecond before its interrupt is serviced. What is the maximum number of instructions that can be executed with interrupts disabled?
A 32-bit microprocessor with the same bus cycle as a 16-bit microprocessor is an example of this. If 20% of the operands and instructions are 32 bits long, 40% are 16 bits long, and 40% are just 8 bits long, then the problem will be solved. Calculate the benefit of using a 32-bit CPU when retrieving instructions and operands.

Consider a 32-bit microprocessor, with a 16-bit external data bus, driven by an 8-MHz input clock. Assume that this microprocessor has a bus cycle whose minimum duration equals four input clock cycles. What is the maximum data transfer rate across the bus that this microprocessor can sustain in bytes/s? To increase its performance, would it be better to make its external data bus 32 bits or to double the external clock fre- quency supplied to the microprocessor? State any other assumptions you make and explain. Hint: Determine the number of bytes that can be transferred per bus cycle.
