Question
Let us suppose, for the sake of simplicity, that each instruction on a RISC processor is processed in 2 microseconds and that an I/O device can only wait for an interrupt to be handled for a maximum of 1 millisecond before it is serviced.
When interruptions are turned off, the number of instructions that may be performed is limited.

- There are various sorts of arrays, with "systolic array" being one of them. A systolic array is a networked group of data processing devices. Since the receipt of fresh data initiates execution, these components do not need a programmed counter. Using lock-step computing, each node in a timed systolic array alternately conducts calculations and communications inside a single clock cycle.arrow_forwardThe overlapping register windows are responsible for the RISC architecture's superior performance; the smaller instruction set has no bearing on this.
