Answer:

<em>2,941,176 interrupts per second</em>

Explanation:

Given that:

<em>The number of words = </em>1 PSW (program status word) + 1 program counter + 32

                                        CPU registers  

                                     = 34

<em>The time taken to R/W  a memory word = 5 nano seconds </em>

Prior to the interrupt, 34 words are needed to be pushed into the stack, and 34 words are needed to pop out of the stack after the interrupt is handled.

Therefore, in total 68 words are needed during the Read and Write execution.

To calculate the number of interrupts handled by the machine, we have to first establish the time required to read and write 68 words:

= 68 x 5nsec

= 340nsec

= 340 x 10^{-9} sec (converting it to seconds)

maximum number of interrupts = \frac{1,000, 000,000}{340} = 2,491,176 interrupts.

Elena-2011 [213]

Im going to guess the 2nd one.

The 1st one just shows how trees can make ____ and then goes to water, the sun, then the rain but it CAN be used as one.

The 2nd one seems to explain the best it can show about weather, water, landforms, the sun, and seems like a better one to choose.

Which formula is used to measure accuracy?
Westkost [7]

Answer:You can only find REaccuracy if you know the actual “true” measurement… something that's difficult to do unless you're measuring against the atomic clock. The formula is: REaccuracy = (Absolute error / “True” value) * 100%.
