Question: 1 . mentioned in Exercise 1 As . 4 solved in class, cell phones run a wide variety of applications. Well make the same assumptions

1. mentioned in Exercise 1 As.4 solved in class, cell phones run a wide variety of applications. Well make the same assumptions for this exercise as the previous one, that it is 0.5W per core and that a quad core runs email 4x as fast (not 8 times as in the original problem).
a. Imagine that 75% of the code is parallelizable. By how much would the frequency and voltage on a single core need to be increased in order to execute at the same speed as the four-way parallelized code (that is you need achieve the same speedup as 4 cores with 75% parallizable code, using a single core).
b. What is the reduction in dynamic energy from using frequency and voltage scaling in part a? What we are looking at is a comparison of energy consumed by 4 cores vs a single core with faster clock.
