The pipeline a. transfers the data from the memory to the CPU b. offers processor-level parallelism C. transfers the data for memory to 1/0 d. offers instruction-level parallelism 2 The three last steps in the instruction execution cycle are a. IF, EX, WB b. EX, OF, WB C. OF, EX, WB d. iF, ID, OF 4. The Amdahl's law describes how a. the number of transistors increase every 18 months to 2 years b. much speedup could be obtained from parallelization of code C. CPUs' speed increases every 18 months to 2 years d. the code should be divided to each processor The "stack frame" is created when we call a. a procedure b. an Irvine's library procedure c. a macro d. a recursive procedure

Answer 1

Answer)

1) d) All of the above

A functional decomposition diagram would have all the overall function or that of the task which would have the sub-function or any of the task which is meant for getting the objective.

2) d) Offers instruction-level parallelism

When considering the computer, the pipeline is considered continuous as well as the overlapped movement of the instruction to that of the processor or have the arithmetic step which is considered by the processor for performing the instruction.

3) a) IF, EX, WB

The process would have 3 stages which is the fetching, decoding as well as execution of the instruction stage

4) b) much speed could be obtained from parallelization of the code

Amdahl's argument is having importance in 2 ways where the first would have a considerable perspective on the unrealistically high expectation meant for parallelism and the second one would show the better gain in the present parallel programming which has the application's algorithm for reducing the bottleneck.

5) a procedure

A function is defined to be a stack frame that has been made for supporting the function's way to execution and also has the function's local variable as well as an argument to pass the function with regards to that of the caller.
