1. CPU PERFORMANCE (25 points): On an Intel Core I77700K,4.5GHz processor a single RDRAND instruction takes 110 ns or 463 clock cycles, regardless of the operand size (16/32/64 bits). Let's assume that the following frequencies of the instructions are provided for the baseline processor with no RDRAND instruction. Assume that a single RDRAND instruction replaces 200 Int ALU instructions and 200 Floating-Point ALU instructions in a given code. If the frequency of RDRAND instructions in an application is 5%, on the average, what will be the performance of a machine that supports RDRAND instruction in its ISA compared to a baseline processor with no RDRAND instruction?
