Q1: Assume that you want to compare the performance of BBox and PlayPort game consoles. You have CyberMan2021 for both the consoles. To compare their performance you note the loading times of the game on both consoles. You find out that it takes 100 seconds to load the game of BBox and 150 seconds to load the game on PlayPort. Which of the two consoles is faster and by how much?

Q2: CyberMan2021 loads on BBox in 150 seconds. BBox has processor Quickload which has a clock rate of 2 GHz. Designers want to use a processor Quickload2 in BBox2 so that the game loads in 100 seconds. Assume that it takes the same number of clock cycles to load the game on both the processors. What should be the clock rate of Quickload2?

Q3: A processor takes 10 cycles to perform multiplication and 5 cycles to perform an addition. Assuming that the program has 5 multiplication operations and 5 addition operations. What is the average cycles per instruction for the program?

Q4: Assume that you have two processors Quickload and Quickload2. Clock rate of Quickload is 2GHz while clock rate of Quickload2 is 3GHz. A program with 100 instructions is executed on them. Quickload has average CPI of 2 while Quickload2 has average CPI of 1.5. Which processor has a better performance and by how much?

Q5: Assume that program comprises of multiplication and addition instructions. It takes 150 seconds to execute the program. Out of this it takes 100 seconds to execute the multiplication instructions and 50 seconds to execute the addition instructions. You want to reduce the execution time to 100 seconds by only improving the performance of multiplication instruction. By what factor should you improve the execution time of multiplication instructions to reduce the overall execution time to 100 seconds?
