Answer:

2 million cycles per second

Explanation:

The ENIAC, the first electronic general-purpose computer, used a 100 kHz clock in its cycle unit. It had a 5 kHz instruction rate since each instruction required 20 cycles. The Altair 8800 (by MITS) was the first commercial PC to use an Intel 8080 CPU with a clock rate of 2 MHz (2 million cycles per second).

A lot of business rules needs to be triggered so as to run.

In making of business rule, one can select triggers to run some specific events or run using some particular specified frequency.

The trigger options differs based on the type of rule you are interested in. One can also use multiple triggers when using a single rule.

Consider two different implementations, M1 and M2, of the same instruction set. There are three classes of instructions (A, B, a

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

a) the average CPI for machine M1 = 1.6

the average CPI for machine M2 = 2.5

b) M1 implementation is faster.

c) the clock cycles required for both processors.52.6*10^6.

Explanation:

(a)

The average CPI for M1 = 0.6 x 1 + 0.3 x 2 + 0.1 x 4

= 1.6

The average CPI for M2 = 0.6 x 2 + 0.3 x 3 + 0.1 x 4

= 2.5

(b)

The average MIPS rate is calculated as: Clock Rate/ averageCPI x 10^6

Given 80MHz = 80 * 10^6

The average MIPS ratings for M1 = 80 x 10^6 / 1.6 x 10^6

= 50

Given 100MHz = 100 * 10^6

The average MIPS ratings for M2 = 100 x 10^6 / 2.5 x 10^6

= 40

Machine M2 has a smaller MIPS rating

Changing instruction set A from 2 to 1

The CPI will be increased to 1.9 (1*.6+3*.3+4*.1)

and hence MIPS Rating will now be (100/1.9)*10^6 = 52.6*10^6.
