1. The performance of machine #1 is 10 times that of machine #2, yet the cycle time of 2. On computer #1, average instruction execution time is 4 nsec. On computer 2, it is 2 3. Find three appliances around you that are run by an embedded CPU and describe the 4. Consider a machine with the following data path: machine #1 is only 3 times faster than machine #2. How do describe this? nsec. Can we say that computer 2 is two times faster than computer 1? Why? Explain functionalities of the CPU in the appliance A +B Registers ALU input register ALU input bus ALU ALU output register A +B Suppose that loading the ALU input registers takes 1 nsec, running the ALU takes 4 nsec, and storing the result back in the output register takes 1 nsec. Calculate the maximum number of MIPS this machine is capable of doing without pipelining? Compute the data rate of the human eye using the following information. The visual field consists of about 106 elements (pixels). Each pixel can be reduced to a superposition of the three primary colors, each of which has 64 intensities. The time resolution is 100 msec 5. A DNA molecule is a linear sequence of the four basic nucleotides: A, C, G, and T. The human genome contains approximately 3 x 109 nucleotides in the form of about 30,000 6
