Assume for arithmetic, load/store, and branch instructions, a processor has CPls of 3, 15, and 7, respectively. Also as...
Assume for arithmetic, load/store, and branch instructions, a processor core has CPIs of 1,12 and 5 respectively. Also assume that on a single processor core a program requires the execution of 2.56E9 arithmetic instructions, 1.28E9 load/store instructions, and 256.0E6 branch instructions. Assume all processor cores run at 2 GigaHertz. Assume that, as the program is parallelized to run over multiple processor cores, the number of load/store instructions per processor core is divided by .5 times p for all number of...

A program executes 10 billion instructions. It executes on an Intel processor that has an average CPI of 1.5 and a clock frequency of 2 GHz. How many seconds does the program take to execute? What is the cycle time of this Intel processor? Assume that an AMD processor takes 6 seconds to execute the program. What is the speedup provided by the Intel processor, relative to the AMD processor
Problem 1 Assume that a processor with a clock rate of 1 GHz clock runs a benchmark program w mix of instructions given in the table below. Instruction class CPI FP INT Load/Store (L/S) Branch Instruction count 50 x 106 110 x 106 50 x 106 10 x 106 By how much must the CPI of L/S instructions be improved if the program is to run two times faster?

Assume an memory hierarchy with unified data and instruction memories, miss rate equal to 15%, miss penalty equal to 90 cycles, 25% Load/Store instructions, TLB miss ratio per TLB access equal to 6% and TLB miss penalty equal to 80 cycles. What is the realistic CPI of this system if the ideal CPI is 1.5? What is the speedup compared to not having TLB? What would be the speedup if the TLB could hold every entry?
