Consider three different processors P1, P2, and P3 executing the same instruction set. P1 has a 4.4GHz clock rate and a CPI of 1.5. P2 has a 3.3GHzclock rate and a CPI of 1.0. P3 has a 4.1 GHz clock rate and has a CPI of 2.2.

a. Which processor has the highest performance expressed in instructions per second? give that number

b. If the processors each execute a program in 10 seconds, find the number of cycles and the number of instructions.

c. We are trying to reduce the execution time by 30% but this leads to an increase of 20% in the CPI. What clock rate should we have to get this time reduction?
