Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a processor with a clock speed of 2.5 GHz that achieves a CPI of 1.5, how would you calculate the execution time for a program containing 1 billion instructions?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Carefully convert GHz to seconds.

Question 2

If two processors have the same clock speed but one has a CPI of 2 and the other has a CPI of 3, what implications does this have on their respective performance?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how CPI affects execution time.
