Task 5: Write a function that takes an array and its size as parameters and returns the sum of its elements(Homework)arrow_forward4.13 Extract a 3×3 array from the upper left-hand corner of the magic square you created in 4.11. Is this also a magic square?arrow_forwarda If an M/M/1 queue in a server has task arrivals at a rate of 30 per second and serves at a rate of 50 per second, how many tasks are in the system (waiting and being served) on average? b In part (a), how many tasks are being served, on average? c What is the utilization of an M/M/1 queue in a server that has four tasks waiting on average?arrow_forward

The table above shows the execution time of the two different compiled programs. Find the average CPI for each program given that the processor has a clock cycle time of 1 nS. 1.6.2 15] Assume the average CPIs found in 1.6.1, but that the compiled programs run on two difference processors. If the execution times on the two processors are the same, how much faster is the clock of the processor running compiler A's coce versus the clock of the processor running compiler B's code? 1.6.3 [5] A new compiler is developed that uses only 600 million instruc- tions and has an average CPI of 1.1. What is the speed-up of using this new compiler versus using Compiler A or B on the original processor of 1.6.1? Consider two different implementations, P1 and P2, of the same instruction set.…arrow_forwardExercise 1.4 Consider two different implementations of the same instruction set architecture. There are four classes of instructions, A, B, C, and D. The clock rate and CPI of each implementation are given in the following table.
