For a given CPU integer operations a+b, and a*b take almost identical amounts of time, for floating point (32 bit) multiplication takes approximately 3x as long. Floating point additions and integer additions take nearly identical times. (Yes, those are nearly real numbers for Intel Haswell CPU's). For a program that is 20% logic operations (which take the same no matter what), 40% additions and 40% multiplications, derive a formula to calculate the estimated performance of changing the maths from Integer to Floating point operations on the same CPU

1. Consider a machine running a program with four classes of instructions: A/B/C/D. The program requires 360 seconds, with the number of seconds executing each class as shown in the table below: Instruction Class A B C Time (sec) 100 80 120 60 1.1. By how much is the total execution time changed if the time for class D is reduced by 20% and the time for class C is increased by 10% (assuming no other changes)? 1.2. If we want to reduce the total execution time by 20% by optimizing class A only, what is the target execution time of class A instructions in order to achieve the reduction (assuming all other instructions are not changed)? 1.3. Can the total time be reduced by 25% if we only optimize class B? Use calculation to justify your answer.
Assume that a program requires the execution of 125x106 FP (floating point) instructions, 130x106 INT (integer) instructions, 150x106 L/S (load/store) instructions, and 110x106 branching instructions. These instructions have CPIs of 1, 1, 8 and 4, respectively. Assume that the processor has a 5 GHz clock rate. a. Is it possible to run the program twice as fast if we improve the CPI of just the L/S instructions? If so, by how much? Show your calculations. b. What is the Speedup in the execution time of the entire program if the CPI of INT and FP instructions is reduced by 40% and that of L/S and branching instructions is reduced by 50%?

Amdahl's Law is as applicable to software as it is to hardware. An oft-cited programmingtruism states that a program spends 90% of its time executing 10% of its code. Thus, tuninga small amount of program code can often time have an enormous affect on the overallperformance of a software product. Determine the overall system speedup if: a. 90% of a program is made to run 10 times as fast (900% faster). b. 80% of a program is made to run 20% faster. 4. Name the four types of I/O architectures. Where are each of these typically used and whyare they used there?5. A CPU with interrupt-driven I/O is busy servicing a disk request.
