Question: 1 For a given processor bound workload the frequencies of instructions move (MOV), floating add (FADD), and floating multiply (FMUL), and the corresponding instruction run

1 For a given processor bound workload the frequencies of instructions move (MOV), floating add (FADD), and floating multiply (FMUL), and the corresponding instruction run times, for a given processor are: FADD 10 300 Others 50 160 MOV Instruction Frequency 30 Time [nanosec] 100 FMUL 10 600 What is the MIPS indicator of this processor? Faster memory chips reduce the MOV time by 50%, and all other times by 20%. What is now the value of the MIPS indicator? The floating point operation times can be reduced 3 times if we buy a floating point coprocessor whose cost is the same as the cost of faster memory. What would you buy: the coprocessor or the faster memory? (a) (b) (c)
