Question

Suppose memory access takes 100 ns and register access takes 1 ns (or less), calculate and compare the computational speed of the three code snippets. Assume CPU instructions such as XOR, ADD, also take 1 ns and we flush everything in the cache before executing the programs.

Program snippet 1:

Mov EAX, [0x 8002 B001]

Mov EBX, EAX

XOR EAX, EAX

Program snippet 2:

Mov ECX, 0

Mov EAX, 1

ADD ECX, EAX

Mov [0x 8009 0001], ECX

Mov EAX, [0x 8009 0010]

Program snippet 3:

Mov EAX, Ox 4001 0000

Mov EBX, Ox 4001 0001

ADD EAX, EBX

XOR EBX, EBX
