8. A real-time flight simulator spends 57% of the time computing latitude, longitude, altitude, attitude, bearing angle of attack, air speed, and other relevant simulation variables. The remaining time is spent rendering the visual imagery. Two enhancements are being proposed. Which enhancement provides the best speedup? (a) (5 pts.) Decrease the compute time by a factor of 1.8 by using dual processing cores. (b) (5 pts.) Decrease the visual rendering time by a factor of 3 by using an updated graphics processing unit. 8.
