Answer:
Achieved Instruction per cycle rate is 
Solution:
As per the question:
Execution time, t = 1.4 s
No. of instructions being executed, n = 1.8 billion =
Clock speed of CPU, f = 3.2 GHz = 
Now, to calculate the actual issue rate achieved:
CPI (Cycle per Instruction) = 
CPI = 
Instruction per cycle is given as the reciprocal of CPI:
Instruction per cycle = 
Answer:
import sys
import turtle
import random
def n_pointed_star(total_points):
if total_points <= 4:
raise ValueError('Not enough total_points')
area = 150
for coprime in range(total_points//2, 1, -1):
if greatest_common_divisor(total_points, coprime) == 1:
start = turtle.position()
for _ in range(total_points):
turtle.forward(area)
turtle.left(360.0 / total_points * coprime)
turtle.setposition(start)
return
def greatest_common_divisor(a, b):
while b != 0:
a, b = b, a % b
return a
turtle.reset()
n_pointed_star(5)
Explanation:
- Inside the n_pointed_star function, check whether the total no. of points are less than or equal to 4 and then throw an exception.
- Loop through the total_points variable and check whether the result from greatest_common_divisor is equal to 1 or not and then set the starting position of turtle and move it.
- Create the greatest_common_divisor which takes two parameters a and b to find the GCD.
- Finally reset the turtle and call the n_pointed_star function.
