Question

We are trying to reduce the current time of 15s by 30% but this leads to an increase of 18% in the CPI. For each processor, what clock rate should we have to achieve this time reduction?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

For reduction

Execution time = (instructions * CPI)/(Clock rate)

Since CPI is increased by 18%

18/100 +1 = 1.18

Therefore

P1 CPI = CPI x 1.18

P2 CPI = CPIx 1.18

P3 CPI = CPI x 1.18

Since clockrate reduces by 30% we have it to be a 0.7

P1: (Instructions x P1CPI) / 0.7

P2: (Instructionsx P2CPI) / 0.7

P3: (Instructions x P2CPI) /0 .7
