Program Plan Intro

Given Assembly code:

a in %rdi, i in %rax, cnt in %rdx

.L5:

vmovss -4(%rsi, %rax, 4), %xmm0

vaddss (%rdi, %rax, 4), %xmm0, %xmm0

vmovss %xmm0, (%rsi, %rax, 4)

addq $1, %rax

cmpq %rdx, %rax

jne .L5

Cycles per element (CPE):

  • The CPE denotes performance of program that helps in improving code.
  • It helps to understand detailed level loop performance for an iterative program.
  • It is appropriate for programs that use a repetitive computation.
  • The processor’s activity sequencing is controlled by a clock that provides regular signal of some frequency.

Memory aliasing:

  • It denotes a case where two pointers might designate to memory location that is same.
  • The compiler should assume that unlike pointers might be aliased for safe optimizations.
  • The program aspects that could limit chances for a compiler in generating optimized code denote optimization blockers.
  • If a compiler is unable to determine whether two pointers might be aliased, it should adopt that either case would be possible.
  • The possible optimization set is been limited in this case.

Whats wrong with my pseudocode? Where did I make an error?Code:           Module main()                 Declare Real mileage                 Call getMileage()                 Display “You’ve drive a total of “, mileage, “ miles            End Module                       Module getMilage()                Display “Enter your mileage: “                 Input mileage            End Module
I need help!! Writing a long pseudocode for a modular program that will display the monthly payment on a mortgage.  P=Principal amount borrowed (loan)R=Rate of interest computed for each monthN=Number of months to pay back the loan or mortgageThe help I need is creating a module that you can input the principle, rate of percentage, and years to repay the loan, and another module "displaypayment" that accepts the 3 values and calculates the monthly payment needed for the rates. Lastly 2 local variables needed!Equation:Monthly Payment=[(R*(1+R)^N)/((1+R)^N-1)]*P
Two pseudocode questions I need help with: How do I design a module called findSum that will display the sum of two integer passed by parameter, and a module called findArea that will display the area of a rectangle when passed 2 real values for the length and width of the rectangle?
