Large computer programs and operations may be divided into subsystems as necessary. What benefits may segmenting this system logically provide?

_____ is a CPU design technique in which instruction execution is divided into multiple stages and different instructions can execute in different stages simultaneously.

A safety-critical system is one whose failure or misuse may cause human injury or death. Given that an EHR system can be considered to be such a system, which tasks associated with software implementation deserve special attention?

Software companies are continually improving programming languages. Would learning a programming language in grade school provide you with skills that you would need more than a decade later when you enter the workforce? Why or why not?

Processor R is a 64-bit RISC processor with a 2 GHz clock rate. The average instruction requires one cycle to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. Processor C is a CISC processor with a 1.8 GHz clock rate. The average simple instruction requires one cycle to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. The average complex instruction requires two cycles to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. Processor R can’t directly implement the complex processing instructions of Processor C. Executing an equivalent set of simple instructions requires an average of three cycles to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. Program S contains nothing but simple instructions. Program C executes 70% simple instructions and 30% complex instructions. Which processor will execute program S more quickly? Which processor will execute program C more quickly? At what percentage of complex instructions will the performance of the two processors be equal?
