Consider two possible functions for adding together two xyz points:
struct point add_points(struct point p1, struct point p2)
struct point* add_points(struct point* p1, struct point* p2)
Which of these functions should we expect to operate more efficiently and why?
Consider two possible functions for adding together two xyz points: struct point add_points(struct point p1, struct point p2) struct point* add_points(struct point* p1, struct point* p2) Which of these functions should we expect to operate more efficiently and why?
struct point add_points(struct point p1, struct point p2)
struct point* add_points(struct point* p1, struct point* p2)
struct point* add_points(struct point* p1, struct point* p2) is more powerful than the struct point add_points(struct point p1, struct point p2).
Reason :
Therefore we can justify that struct point* add_points(struct point* p1, struct point* p2) is more powerful than the struct point add_points(struct point p1, struct point p2).

Consider the implemented of two different processors P1, and P2 with the same instruction set architecture (ISA). P1 has a 2 GHZ clock rate and P2 has a 2.5 GHz clock rate. a. what is the clock cycle for each processor? b. If the CPI for a program A is 2, which processor has the highest performance? c. if the processors P1 execute the program in 2 seconds, find the number of instructions. d. We are trying to reduce the...
Let p=(p1,p2,…,pm) be a probability distribution over m possible outcomes. The entropy of p is a measure of how much randomness there is in the outcome. It is defined as where ln denotes natural logarithm. We wish to ascertain whether F(p) is a convex function of p. As usual, we begin by computing the Hessian. A) Consider the specific point p=(1/m,1/m,…,1/m). What is the (1,1) entry of the Hessian at this point? Your answer should be a function of m....
2. The standard deviation of a probability distrubution measures how bunched together the data is. The larger the standard deviation, the further away from the mean the data tends to be. Consider the two density functions below: 1 P1(c) 2-12,000 2 (3,204 e 1 2-22,000 e 10) 3, 204721 P2(x) 9) 12,060727 Suppose that these give the density functions for the return on investment for two different invest- ment options. Say we have two investment firms with different investing philosophies:...
Write a class called Point that contains two doubles that represent its x- and y-coordinates. It should have get and set methods for both fields. It should have a constructor that takes two double parameters and initializes its coordinates with those values. It should have a default constructor that initializes both coordinates to zero. It should also contain a method called distanceTo that takes as a parameter another Point and returns the distance from the Point that was passed as...
The below pseudocode shows functions p1 and p2, used by two separate processes. These processes share two mutexes, m1 and m2. The code uses a made-up API for mutexes: atomic_lock() to take a mutex, and unlock() to release it. Assume that atomic_lock() busy waits until the mutex can be taken, and assume that this API is implemented in a thread-safe manner. void pio { atomic_lock(&ml); atomic_lock(8m2); 1/run critical region.. unlock(8m2); unlock(&ml); void p20 atomic lock(8m2): atomic lock&mi); Hrun critical region......
A polynomial p(x) is an expression in variable x which is in the form axn + bxn-1 + …. + jx + k, where a, b, …, j, k are real numbers, and n is a non-negative integer. n is called the degree of polynomial. Every term in a polynomial consists of a coefficient and an exponent. For example, for the first term axn, a is the coefficient and n is the exponent. This assignment is about representing and computing...

(8 points) Consider the following two market model Market 1: Q = 20 - P1+2Pz; Qi = 2P1 - 27 Market 2: Q9 = 18 – 2P, +3P; Q:= 2 + 4P, lave where Q' is the demand for good i and Q! is it's supply. Prepresents the price for good i. As you can see the the demand for a good is affected by not only its own price but also by the price of the other good. (a)...
Q3. Consider the vector space P, consisting of all polynomials of degree at most two together with the zero polynomial. Let S = {p.(t), p2(t)} be a set of polynomials in P, where: pi(t) = -4 +5, po(t) = -3° - 34+5 (a) Determine whether the set S = {P1(t).pz(t)} is linearly independent in Py?

Consider the algorithm to find the closest pair of points in the plane. Let's say you wanted to generalize the algorithm to find the two closest pairs of points in the plane given a set of (unsorted) points (p1, py. Give an algorithm for finding the two distances for this pair. In the step to conquer the two subproblems, you must explain why your algorithm is guaranteed to find the correct result. You do not need to specify the best...
