Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 11, Problem 17E
Explanation of Solution
Analysis of the sidebar:
- System performance is considered as one of main factor of a processor.
- It is used to determine the speed a problem can be solved.
- It is also used to determine the factors such as number of problems that can be allocated at particular amount of time and also the number of problems that can be handled by the processor.
- The speed of the CPU is a key factor that often decides the performance of the system.
- But this factor speed is applied only to identical architecture and which will be misled at many cases.
- A detailed analysis is made to arrive at a detailed decision for different architecture.
- The efficiency that is employed with the architecture plays an important role when considering the performance.
- The performance can be improved based on the way the code is written.
Guidelines to improve the performance by writing the efficient code:
- The branches that are not required necessarily are being removed.
- It is used to indicate the implication of organizational and architectural.
- It indicates the way how the branches are processed or being pipelined but it is being related to the code aspect in a higher order.
- Any branching instruction that is given the work of the processor is to guess the predicted outcome and based on that the process is being added to the pipeline.
- In case the output is not as predicted it could be a loss in overall efficiency.
- The iteration is considered to be over recursive.
- It is related with aspect of coding
- Recursion involves the procedure call greatly.
- The process involved will be storing it with the instruction and then with the program counter stored on to the stack and by shifting the control of the address to new procedure call.
- This type of process may require high time to process but may not require huge storage capacity...

The warranty states that if the device fails during its first year of use, you get a new device for no cost, and this new device carries exactly the same warranty. However, if it fails after the first year of use, the warranty is of no value. You plan to use this device for the next six years. Therefore, any time the device fails outside its warranty period, you will pay $300 for another device of the same kind. (We assume the price does not increase during the six-year period.) The time until failure for a device is gamma distributed with parameters α = 2 and β = 0.5. (This implies a mean of one year.) Use @RISK to simulate the six-year period. Include as outputs (1) your total cost, (2) the number of failures during the warranty period, and (3) the number of devices you own during the six-year period.

To manage its operations efficiently, the company is looking for a program that can help track its fleet, manage bookings, and calculate revenue for each cruise. Each cruise is tracked by a Cruise Identifier (must be 5 characters long), cruise route (e.g. Miami to Nassau), and ticket price. The program should also track how many tickets have been sold for each cruise. Create an object-oriented solution with a menu that allows a user to select one of the following options: 1. Create Cruise – This option allows a user to create a new cruise by entering all necessary details (Cruise ID, route, ticket price).

- Southern Airline has 15 daily flights from Miami to New York. Each flight requires two pilots. Flights that do not have two pilots are canceled (passengers are transferred to other airlines). The average profit per flight is $6000. Because pilots get sick from time to time, the airline is considering a policy of keeping four *reserve pilots on standby to replace sick pilots. Such pilots would introduce an additional cost of $1800 per reserve pilot (whether they fly or not). The pilots on each flight are distinct and the likelihood of any pilot getting sick is independent of the likelihood of any other pilot getting sick. Southern believes that the probability of any given pilot getting sick is 0.15. A) Run a simulation of this situation with at least 1000 iterations and report the following for the present policy (no reserve pilots) and the proposed policy (four reserve pilots): The average daily utilization of the aircraft (percentage of total flights that fly) The…arrow_forwardWhy is JAVA OOP is really difficult to study?arrow_forwardMy daughter is a Girl Scout and it is time for our cookie sales.
