Question

Consider the three processors (P1, P2, and P3) below. Assume that each
processor has a single core and the same microarchitecture
for pipelines, super-scalar, hyperthreading, and others. Note that each
processor supports "different ISAs".

P1: supporting "ISA A" - Clock: 2.3 GHz, CPI: 2.1
P2: supporting "ISA B" - Clock: 1.4 GHz, CPI: 1.1
P3: supporting "ISA C" - Clock: 5.2 GHz, CPI: 4.3

 

  1. You write a program using an assembly language for P1.
    Can the program run on P2 and P3? Explain your answer.
  2. ou write programs using C and Java. Explain how each
    program written in C and Java can be executed on these processors.
