What is the length of a clock cycle in a 4 GHz machine, in picoseconds?
a 4 GHz processor performs 4,000,000,000 clock cycles per
second, so length of clock cycle will be:
1/4,000,000,000 in seconds
=
for clock cycle In picoseconds, it will be:
What is the length of a clock cycle in a 4 GHz machine, in picoseconds?
Assume that the: Clock rate is 2 GHz, L1 access time is 1 cycle, L2 access time is 10 cycles, Memory access time is 100 cycles, L1 hit rate is 60%, L2 hit rate is 70%. What is the average memory access time? (4 marks)
A flip-flop often has the input from the clock run through the following digital logic. a. Explain why one would usually expect the output of the above AND gate to be always be equal to zero. b. In reality, the output of the AND gate can be equal to one. Explain how this would happen. c. If the NOT gate takes 2 picoseconds to execute, the AND gate takes 4 picoseconds and a clock cycle is 100 picoseconds, what length...
22. Find the core clock frequency if the machine cycle 1.25 ns 22. Find the core clock frequency if the machine cycle 1.25 ns
A non-pipelined processor has a clock rate of 1 GHz and an average instruction takes 9 cycles to execute. The manufacturer has decided to design a pipelined version of this processor. For this purpose, the instruction cycle has been divided into five stages with the following latencies: Stage 1 – 2.0 ns,Stage 2 – 1.5 ns, Stage 3 – 1.0 ns, Stage 4 – 2.6 ns, Stage 5 – 1.9 ns. Each stage will require an extra 0.4 ns for...
Plz help me with this question Consider a 2.5 GHz 'clock' signal on a circuit board that has the following properties: It is constant at +2.00 V for 0.0083 ns and is zero for the remaining 0.3917 ns of the cycle. What is its rms voltage? Did you use the period of 0.4000 ns when calculating the root of the mean of the square of the voltage?
Receive auto thumbs up, thanks for trying! Question 1 (Multicore Performance) Part A Machine A Machine B 1 core 2 core 4 GHz clock 2 GHz clock Assume a computation takes 1000 cycles on a single core processor (Machine A). Seventy-five percent of this computation can be parallelized on a dual-core processor (Machine B). The clock rate on the dual core processor is 2 GHz while the clock rate on the single core processor is 4 GHz. What is the...
