Processor R is a 64-bit RISC processor with a 2 GHz clock rate. The average instruction requires one cycle to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. Processor C is a CISC processor with a 1.8 GHz clock rate. The average simple instruction requires one cycle to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. The average complex instruction requires two cycles to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. Processor R can’t directly implement the complex processing instructions of Processor C. Executing an equivalent set of simple instructions requires an average of three cycles to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. Program S contains nothing but simple instructions. Program C executes 70% simple instructions and 30% complex instructions. Which processor will execute program S more quickly? Which processor will execute program C more quickly? At what percentage of complex instructions will the performance of the two processors be equal?
Identify the three elements of a CPU and describe the role of each.
A Microprocessor is an important part of a computer architecture without which you will not be able to perform anything on your computer. It is a programmable device that takes in input performs some arithmetic and logical operations over it and produces the desired output. Your task is the Identification of the different types of microprocessor and their applications. Also write down why these applications required microprocessor. Please answer according to the question.
Many distinct strategies have been proposed for developing a processor that, prior to carrying out encrypted data and system instructions, is able to decode the data and instructions. The data that has been submitted will next be encrypted by the processor. In what ways is the use of such a CPU beneficial? Which architectural requirements must be met by such a central processing unit?
A CPU's architecture might be an universal register, single accumulator, or stack. Each has its pros and cons. Your response might be accurate or wrong.
1. Anna designs a 2.5 GHz processor where two important programs, A and B, take onesecond each to execute. Each program has a CPI of 1.25. Elsa is tasked with designingthe company's next-generation processor and she comes up with an idea that improvesthe CPI of A to 1.1 and the CPI of B to 0.9. But the idea is so complex that theprocessor can only be implemented with a cycle time of 0.5 ns. Does Elsa's newprocessor out-perform Anna's processor on program A? How about on program B?2. Consider two different implementations of the same instruction set architecture. Theinstructions can be divided into four classes according to their CPI (class A, B, C, andD). P1 with a clock rate of 2.5 GHz and CPIs of 1, 2, 3, and 3, and P2 with a clockrate of 3 GHz and CPIs of 1, 2, 2, and 2.Given a program with a dynamic instructioncount of 106 instructions divided into classes as follows: 10% class A, 20% class B,50% class C, and 20% class D, which is faster: P1 or P2?
(a) Computer systems can be categorized into various types based on the number of generalpurpose processors they support. Identify these categories and explain the concept of eachas applied to the Computer System Architecture. (b) A Single Processor System typically consist of a single processor executing allinstructions. How would you justify the concept of a Single Processor System consistingof a main CPU and other special purpose processors executing instructions?
A computer employs RAM chips of 512 x 16 and ROM chips of 1024 x 8. The computer system needs 4K bytes of RAM and 2K bytes of ROM along with interface unit of 128 registers each. A memory mapped I/O configuration is used. The two higher order bits are assigned for RAM, ROM and interface as 00, 01 and 10 respectively.
