If a processor has a (total) CPI of 1.2,
and a cycle time of 3.7 nanoseconds,
what is the average execution time per instruction in
nanoseconds
(to TWO decimal places)?
Formula for Average execution time per instruction is
Average execution time per instruction = (CPI) *(Clock time)
= 1.2 * 3.7 nanoseconds
= 4.4 nanoseconds
Average execution time per instruction = 4.4 nanoseconds

Problem 3. (25 pts.) Compilers can have a profound impact on the performance of an application. Assume that for a program, compiler A results in a dynamic instruction count of 1 billion instructions and has an execution time of 1.1 seconds, while compiler B results in a dynamic instruction count of 1.2 billion instructions and an execution time of 1.5 seconds. A) Find the average CPI for each program given that the processor has a clock cycle time of 1...

In this exercise, we examine how pipelining affects the clock cycle time of the processor. Problems in this exercise assume that individual stages of the datapath have the following latencies: IF | ID | EX | MEMIwB 200ps 400ps 150ps 250ps 200ps Also, assume that instructions executed by the processor are broken down as follows: alu beqIwSW 45% 20% 20% 15% 3.1 What is the clock cycle time in a pipelined and non-pipelined processor? 3.2 What is the total latency...
A non-pipelined processor has a clock rate of 1 GHz and an average instruction takes 9 cycles to execute. The manufacturer has decided to design a pipelined version of this processor. For this purpose, the instruction cycle has been divided into five stages with the following latencies: Stage 1 – 2.0 ns,Stage 2 – 1.5 ns, Stage 3 – 1.0 ns, Stage 4 – 2.6 ns, Stage 5 – 1.9 ns. Each stage will require an extra 0.4 ns for...

Make sure to show how you solved the problem step-by-step: Consider three different processors P1, P2, and P3, executing the same instruction set. P1 has a clock cycle time of 300 picosecond and a CPI (clock cycles per instruction) of 1.5. P2 has a clock cycle time of 400 picosecond and a CPI of 1.0. P3 has a clock cycle time of 250 picosecond and a CPI of 2.0. P1 is running a program with 10 instructions. P2 is running...
Suppose a computer M3 has an average CPI of 2.7 and a clock rate of 3.7 GHz. Please answer the following: (a) Calculate the runtime for a program P with 22,933 instructions, which uses an accelerating co-processor 45 percent of the time, and (b) determine how much faster (or slower) the accelerator needs to run for P to run 1.5 times as fast on M3 with the faster (resp. slower) accelerator.
6. Memory Access Time [15 points] Consider a MIPS processor that includes a cache, a main memory, and a hard drive. Access times of cache memory, main memory, and hard drive are 5 ns, 200 ns, and 1000 ns, respectively. Assume that cache memory is divided into instruction cache and data cache. Assume that data cache has a 90% hit rate. Assume that main memory has a 98% hit rate and hard drive is perfect (it has a 100% hit...
