Given a program with execution times broken down shown below. Assume that techniques can only be applied to accelerate the integ

er instructions. What is the theoretical upper bound (theoretical maximum) of the speedup that can be achieved? Show your derivation Continued from the previous question, now assume our goal is to redesign the machine to achieve an overall speedup of 2 times. A technique was found to accelerate the floating point instructions by 4x. To achieve our design goal, how much speedup is needed from optimizing the integer instructions?

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

Floating point and Integer consumes 1000 seconds of 1600 seconds.

Since we shall be talking of theoretical speed-up, please do not try to relate this with any practical scenario :P

To achieve maximum speed up, we need to reduce the time consumed by FP and Integer as large as possible. So we consider a system that does not at all consume time to perform FP and Integer operations. With such specifications, we can say that our new system will consume 600 seconds.

 speed up = 1600 divide by 600 = 2.66

<u>part b: </u>

We need a System with enhancement that will result in speedup of 2.

So the time required for the new system would be 800 sec

 Required time = 1600 divide by = 800 seconds

It is now given that Floating Point can now be accelerated by 5 times, so our enhanced system will consume 40 seconds to perform Floating point operations

We know that Load/Store and branch operations cannot be enhanced and hence they will consume 600 seconds.

Therefore to attend speedup of 2, Integer operations must be completed in 160 seconds (160 = 800 – (600 + 40))

So speed up required for Integer Operations is 800/160 = 5

So Integer Operation should need 5 times less time to achieve speed up of 2

A well insulated rigid tank contains 4 kg of argon gas at 450 kPa and 30 C. A valve is opened, allowing the argon to escape unti
natima [27]

Answer:

Final mass of Argon=  2.46 kg

Explanation:

Initial mass of Argon gas ( M1 ) = 4 kg

P1 = 450 kPa

T1 = 30°C = 303 K

P2 = 200 kPa

k ( specific heat ratio of Argon ) = 1.667

assuming a reversible adiabatic process

<u>Calculate the value of the M2 </u>

Applying ideal gas equation ( PV = mRT )

P₁V / P₂V = m₁ RT₁ / m₂ RT₂

hence : m2 = P₂T₁ / P₁T₂ * m₁

                   = (200 * 303 ) / (450 * 219 ) * 4

                   = 2.46 kg

<em>Note: Calculation for T2 is attached below</em>

A standard penetration test has been conducted on a coarse sand at a depth of 16 ft below the ground surface. The blow counts ob
scoray [572]

Solution :

Given :

The number of blows is given as :

0 - 6 inch = 4 blows

6 - 12 inch = 6 blows

12 - 18 inch = 6 blows

The vertical effective stress $=1500 \ lb/ft^2$

                                              $= 71.82 \ kN/m^2$

                                             $ \sim 72 \ kN/m^2 $

Now,

$N_1=N_0 \left(\frac{350}{\bar{\sigma}+70} \right)$

$N_1 = $ corrected N - value of overburden

$\bar{\sigma}=$ effective stress at level of test

0 - 6 inch, $N_1=4 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right)$

                      = 9.86

6 - 12 inch, $N_1=6 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right) $

                        = 14.8

12 - 18 inch, $N_1=6 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right) $

                         = 14.8

$N_{avg}=\frac{9.86+14.8+14.8}{3}$

       = 13.14

       = 13

A seamless pipe 800mm diameter contains a fluid under a pressure of 2N/mm2. If the permissible tensile stress is 100N/mm2, find
Bad White [126]

Answer:

8 mm

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter, D = 800 mm

Pressure, P = 2 N/mm²

Permissible tensile stress, σ = 100 N/mm²

Now,

for the pipes, we have the relation as:

\sigma=\frac{\textup{PD}}{\textup{2t}}

where, t is the thickness

on substituting the respective values, we get

100=\frac{\textup{2\times800}}{\textup{2t}}

or

t = 8 mm

Hence, the minimum thickness of pipe is 8 mm

A boiler is used to heat steam at a brewery to be used in various applications such as heating water to brew the beer and saniti
Natalija [7]

Answer:

net boiler heat = 301.94 kW

Explanation:

given data

saturated steam = 6.0 bars

temperature = 18°C

flow rate = 115 m³/h = 0.03194 m³/s

heat use by boiler = 90 %

to find out

rate of heat does the boiler output

solution

we can say saturated steam is produce at 6 bar from liquid water 18°C

we know at 6 bar from steam table

hg = 2756 kJ/kg

and

enthalpy of water at 18°C

hf = 75.64 kJ/kg

so heat required for 1 kg is

=hg - hf

= 2680.36 kJ/kg

and

from steam table specific volume of saturated steam at 6 bar is 0.315 m³/kg

so here mass flow rate is

mass flow rate = \frac{0.03194}{0.315}

mass flow rate m = 0.10139 kg/s

so heat required is

H = h × m  

here h is heat required and m is mass flow rate

H = 2680.36  × 0.10139

H =  271.75 kJ/s = 271.75 kW

now 90 % of boiler heat is used for generate saturated stream

so net boiler heat = \frac{H}{0.90}

net boiler heat = \frac{271.75}{0.90}

net boiler heat = 301.94 kW
