Chapter 8, Problem 30E

Exercises 29 through 32 refer to a project consisting of 11 tasks (A through K) with the following processing times (in hours): A ( 10 ) , B ( 7 ) , C ( 11 ) , D ( 8 ) , E ( 9 ) , F ( 5 ) , G ( 3 ) , H ( 6 ) , I ( 4 ) , J ( 7 ) , K ( 5 ) .

a. A schedule with N = 5 processors produces finishing time Fin = 19 hours. What is the total idle time for all the processors?

b. Explain why a schedule with N = 5 processors must have finishing time Fin 15 hours.

the operation times for the major functional units in this implementation are the following:                             Memory units: 200 picoseconds (ps) ALU and adders: 50 ps Register file (read or write): 25 ps Assuming that the multiplexors, control unit, PC accesses, sign extension unit, and wires have no delay, which of the following implementations would be faster and by how much? An implementation in which every instruction operates in 1 clock cycle of a fixed length. An implementation where every instruction executes in 1 clock cycle using a variable length clock, which for each instruction is only as long as it needs to be. (Such an approach is not terribly practical, but it will allow us to see what is being sacrificed when all the instructions must execute in a single clock of the same length.) To compare the performance, assume the following instruction mix: 20% loads, 15% stores, 40% ALU instructions, 20% branches, and 5% jumps.
Anela is a computer scientist who is formulating a large and complicated program for a type of data processing. She has three ways of storing and retrieving data: cloud storage, disk, or hard drive. As an experiment, she sets up her program in three different ways: one using cloud storage, one using disks, and the other using a hard drive. Then she makes four test runs of this type of data processing on each program. The time required to execute each program is shown in the following table (in minutes). Use a 0.01 level of significance to test the hypothesis that the mean processing time is the same for each method. Hard Drive Cloud Disks 8.8 7.5 7.1 8.8 9.2 6.6 8.0 7.2 10.2 7.6 7.9 8.0   (i) Give the value of the level of significance. (ii) Find the sample test statistic. (Round your F Ratio to two decimal places. Round all other answers to four decimal places.) (vi) In the case of one-way ANOVA, make a summary table. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)…
