Gcc targets most modern instruction set architectures (see www.gnu.org/software/gcc/). Create a version of gcc for several architectures that you have access to, such as x86, MIPS, PowerPC, and ARM.

a. Compile a subset of SPEC CPU2006 integer benchmarks and create a table of code sizes. Which architecture is best for each program?

b. Compile a subset of SPEC CPU2006 floating-point benchmarks and create a table of code sizes. Which architecture is best for each program?

c. Compile a subset of EEMBC AutoBench benchmarks (see www.eembc.org/home.php) and create a table of code sizes. Which architecture is best for each program?

d. Compile a subset of EEMBC FPBench floating-point benchmarks and create a table of code sizes. Which architecture is best for each program?
