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.

Write a program that use a switch statement whose controlling expression is the variable area code. If the value of area_code is
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Table for Area codes are not missing;

See Attachment for area codes and major city I used

This program will be implemented using c++ programming language.

// Comments are used for explanatory purposes

// Program starts here

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main( )

{

// Declare Variable area_code

int area_code;

// Prompt response from user

cout<<Enter your area code: ";

cin<<"area_code;

// Start switch statement

switch (area_code) {

// Major city Albany has 1 area code: 229...

case 229:

cout<<"Albany\n";

break;

// Major city Atlanta has 4 area codes: 404, 470 678 and 770

case 404:

case 470:

case 678:

case 770:

cout<<"Atlanta\n";

break;

//Major city Columbus has 2 area code:706 and 762...

case 706:

case 762:

cout<<"Columbus\n";

break;

//Major city Macon has 1 area code: 478...

case 478:

cout<<"Macon\n";

break;

//Major city Savannah has 1 area code: 912..

case 912:

cout<<"Savannah\n";

break;

default:

cout<<"Area code not recognized\n";

}

return 0;

}

// End of Program

Explain why you cannot the Apple OS install on a regular windows computer and vice versa, without the aid of a virtualization so
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The reason is due to proprietary design of the Operating System (OS) which require a virtualization software to blanket or "disguise" the hardware (processor) borderlines of the computer onto which it is to be installed.

Explanation:

An Apple system that has the RISC processor and system architecture which has an operating system made entirely for the Apple system architecture

If the above Apple OS is to be installed on a windows computer, then the procedure to setup up the OS has to be the same as that used when on an Apple system, hence, due to the different processors and components of both systems, a virtualization will be be needed to be provided by a Virtual box, Parallels desktop or other virtualization software.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

I tried it as well and the option is greyed out. It seems like some or all texture packs are not supported on bedrock mobile. This could be due to performance issues, or compatibility. I'm not fully familiar with bedrock mobile, but on bedrock desktop I had no issues.
