Question: 1 . 1 2 [ 1 0 / 1 0 / Discussion / 1 0 / 2 0 / Discussion ] 1 . 7 >
DiscussionDiscussion Make the following calculations on
the raw data in order to explore how different measures color the conclusions one
can make. Doing these exercises will be much easier using a spreadsheet.
a Create a table similar to that shown in Figure except express
the results as normalized to the Pentium D for each benchmark.
b Calculate the arithmetic mean of the performance of each proces
sor. Use both the original performance and your normalized performance cal
culated in part a
cDiscussion Given your answer from part b can you draw any con
flicting conclusions about the relative performance of the different proces
sors?
d Calculate the geometric mean of the normalized performance of
the dual processors and the geometric mean of the normalized performance
of the single processors for the Dhrystone benchmark. begintabularlcccc
