The table below shows the number of instructions per processor core on a multi core processor as well as the average CPI for executing the program on 1, 2, 4, or 8 cores. Using this data, you will be exploring the speedup of applications on multicore processors.

Assume that the power consumption of a processor core can be described by the following equation:

where the operation voltage of the processor is described by the following equation:

with the frequency measured in GHz. So, at 5 GHz, the voltage would be 1.4 V. Find the power consumption of the program executing on 1, 2, 4, and 8 cores assuming that each core is operating at a 3 GHz clock frequency. Likewise, find the power consumption of the program executing on 1, 2, 4, or 8 cores assuming that each core is operating at 500 MHz.
