Program Plan Intro

Given C code:

void swap(long *xp, long *yp)

{

*xp = *xp + *yp;

*yp = *xp - *yp;

*xp = *xp - *yp;

}

Memory aliasing:

  • It denotes a case where two pointers might designate to memory location that is same.
  • The compiler should assume that unlike pointers might be aliased for safe optimizations.
  • The program aspects that could limit chances for a compiler in generating optimized code denote optimization blockers.
  • If a compiler is unable to determine whether two pointers might be aliased, it should adopt that either case would be possible.
  • The possible optimization set is been limited in this case.

(a) A ssume that five generation unıts with third order cost function (F, (P) = A; P+ B;P+C; P; + D;) are in the circuit. Write a computer program using any arbitrary programming language (MATLAB, C++, C#, Python,.) to calculate economic load dispatch (ELD) using first order gradient method. Note that all parameters and variables should be defined inside the program (at tirst limes) such that units' charactenistics and demand can be changed easily. Neglect grid losses. O using lambda - iteration method.
Problem 1 jt"¡1, The following program is run on a machine where memory reference instructions take 8 cycles, arithmetic instructions take 6 cycles, and branches take 3 cycles. It is known that the “sqrt" procedure executes 7 instructions and requires 30 clock cycles. $s0, 20 ($s2) $t1, $s3, $s3 lw add j L1 $t1, $t1, $t1 $t1, $t1, $6 $a0, 0 ($t1) sqrt addi $s3, $s3, 1 beq $s0, $v0, Exit add L1: add lw jal (a). How long will it take to run this program if the machine has a 500 MHz clock? (b). What is the CPI for this program?
Q1) Consider a simple traffic light system to regulate safe pedestrian crossing on a busy lane. Consider the following system requirement:(SysReq:)The traffic lights shall allow pedestrians to safely cross the lane by stopping cars together with the following software requirements: (SofReq1:)The light switch for pedestrians will be set to 'green' within x seconds after the pedestrian button has been pressed. (SofReq2:)The light switch for cars will be set to 'red' at least y seconds before the light switch for pedestrians is set to 'green'. Find missing environment assumptions and domain properties that are necessary to build the following satisfaction argument: {SofReq1, SofReq2, assumptions?, domain properties?} =SysReq Are the missing domain properties adequate? Are the missing assumptions realistic?
