Question:

You are given a 2-byte wide bus that supports single-byte, dual-word (same clock cycle), and burst transfers of up to 8 bytes (4 byte pairs per burst). The overhead of each of these types of transfers is 1 clock cycle (O = OB = 1)

and a data transfer takes 1 clock cycle per single or dual word (D = 1). You want to send a 1080P video frame at a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels with 3 bytes per pixel. Compare the difference in bus transfer times if the pixels are packed versus sending a pixel as a 2-byte followed by a single-byte transfer.
