7.(20 pts) Consider the following program: ADD XO, X31, X31 ADDI X7, X31, #2 Loop: ADD X1, X3, X31 LDUR XO, [X1, #O] SUB X2, X1, XO STUR X2, [X1, #8] STUR X2, [X1, #16] SUBI X7, X7, #1 CBNZ X7, Loop (a) How many instructions will be executed? (Hint: you can find the number of iterations from the 3 instructions in bold) (b) Assume that ALU instruction requires 3 cycles, each LDUR or STUR instruction requires 5 cycles, and CBNZ requires 2 instruction cycles to complete. How many seconds will it take to run this program on a 2 GHz Computer C1? (c) Another computer C2 with clock rate of 3 GHz has the same performance as computer C1 when it runs this program. What is the average CPI of computer C2? (d) We know that in LEGv8 the offset in LDUR/STUR instruction must be a constant. So it normally takes at least two instructions to load a doubleword, one for calculating address. Assume that you want to add a new instruction called "LDURR" that can have a register offset, for example. LDURR X0, [X1, X2]. If you use this new instruction in this program, it can perform the same operation as the 3rd and 4th instructions together do. Suppose that the CPI is reduced by 5% after you replace the 3rd and 4th instruction with this new instruction, and the clock rate needs to be reduced to 1.5 GHz. Is it beneficial to use this new instruction in this program for Computer C1? Why
