Our favorite program runs in 8 seconds on computer A, which has a 2 GHz clock. We are trying to help a computer designer build a computer, B, that will run this program in 4 seconds. The designer has determined that a substantial increase in the clock rate is possible, but this increase will affect the rest of the CPU design, causing computer B to require 1.3 times as many clock cycles as computer A for this program. What clock rate should we tell the designer to targe

What does it imply when applied to a computer that has a limited instruction set to use the word "reduced" in this context?

Suppose two CPU A and B have exactly the same circuits, but different clock frequencies. Answer the following questions: a) If the clock frequency of CPU A is 8MHz, how long is one clock cycle of CPU A? b) If the CPU A can execute 0.4 million instructions per second on average, how long is the average time to execute one instruction? c) What is the average number of clock cycle to execute one instruction for CPU A? d) The frequency of CPU B is 12MHz. What is the average number of instructions that can be executed per second?

Consider the following scenario. Please share your understanding of a multi-core processor and how it works then explain which student is correct and why. Your post should be at least two paragraphs. Scenario: One friend claims that a dual-core system runs at twice the speed as a single-core system; another friend disagrees by saying that it runs twice as many programs at the same time; a third friend says it runs twice as much data at the same time.
