Consider a pipelined processor with just one level of cache. assume that in the absence of memory delays, the baseline cpi of th

is processor is 2. now assume that the percentage of memory instructions in a typical program executed on this cpu is 50% and the memory access latency is 150 cycles. assuming that the i-cache delays are already accounted for in the baseline cpi, consider the following two alternatives for the d-cache design:
alternative 1: a small d-cache with a hit rate of 94% and a hit access time of 1 cycle (assume that no additional cycles on top of the baseline cpi are added to the execution on a cache hit in this case).
alter tive 2: a larger d-cache with a hit rate of 98% and the hit access time of 2 cycles (assume that every memory instruction that hits into the cache adds one additional cycle on top of the baseline cpi).
a) [5%] estimate the cpi metric for both of these designs and determine which of these two designs provides better performance. explain your answers
b) [5%] repeat part (a), but now assume that the memory access latency is reduced to 50 cycles.
c) [5%] repeat part (b), but now assume that the l2 cache is also added to the system with the hit rate of 75% and access latency of 10 cycles.

Alternative 1:A small D-cache with a hit rate of 94% and a hit access time of 1 cycle (assume that no additional cycles on top of the baseline CPI are added to the execution on a cache hit in this case).Alternative 2: A larger D-cache with a hit rate of 98% and the hit access time of 2 cycles (assume that every memory instruction that hits into the cache adds one additional cycle on top of the baseline CPI). a)[10%] Estimate the CPI metric for both of these designs and determine which of these two designsprovides better performance. Explain your answers!CPI = # Cycles / # InsnLet X = # InsnCPI = # Cycles / XAlternative 1:# Cycles = 0.50*X*2 + 0.50*X(0.94*2 + 0.06*150)CPI= 0.50*X*2 + 0.50*X(0.94*2 + 0.06*150) / X1= X(0.50*2 + 0.50(0.94*2 + 0.06*150) ) / X= 0.50*2 + 0.50(0.94*2 + 0.06*150)= 6.44Alternative 2:# Cycles = 0.50*X*2 + 0.50*X(0.98*(2+1) + 0.02*150)CPI= 0.50*X*2 + 0.50*X(0.98*(2+1) + 0.02*150) / X2= X(0.50*2 + 0.50(0.98*(2+1) + 0.02*150)) / X= 0.50*2 + 0.50(0.98*(2+1) + 0.02*150)= 3.97Alternative 2 has a lower CPI, therefore Alternative 2 provides better performance.

Your wearable device synchronized with your smartphone this morning when you turned it on, but the two devices no longer are syn
Lady_Fox [76]
<span>There are several reasons why two devices are not synchronized: maybe there are not the same versions of the programs on both devices, maybe the software needs restart in order to have the latest input data, maybe the internet connection was lost during synchronization

Next steps would be:
- restart the devices
- Update to the latest version
- connect to the internet
- make the synchronization again
