Suppose that a computer has three types of floating point operations: add, multiply, and divide. By performing optimizations to
the design, we can improve the floating point multiply performance by a factor of 10 (i.e., floating point multiply runs 10 times faster on this new machine). Similarly, we can improve the performance of floating point divide by a factor of 15 (i.e., floating point divide runs 15 times faster on this new machine). If an application consists of 50% floating point add instructions, 30% floating point multiply instructions, and 20% floating point divide instructions, what is the speedup achieved by the new machine for this application compared to the old machine
Music can evolve by the process of natural selection, the same way species evolve in the natural world. They found that the loops quickly evolved into music attributable, in part, to the evolution of aesthetically pleasing chords and rhythms.
