Question 1
You are comparing two processors, one with a clock speed of 2.5 GHz and a CPI of 1.5, and another with a clock speed of 3.0 GHz and a CPI of 2.0. Calculate the Execution Time for each for an instruction count of 1000. Which processor is more efficient?
π‘ Hint: Focus on calculating each execution time and comparing the results.
Question 2
Considering the advantages of out-of-order execution, reason how a series of heavy multimedia tasks would impact performance on a Cortex-A processor designed with this feature.
π‘ Hint: Think about how the processor can rearrange tasks to use resources effectively.
