Part 2: Clock Speed Suppose you are assigned to design a new processor with your teammate. Assume that the clock of the processor runs at 50MHz. The table below shows the frequencies for the benchmark program and the number of cycles the instructions take for different classes of instructions. Instruction Type Frequency Cycles per Instruction Arithmetic and logic 40% 7 Load and store 30% 4 Branch 30% 2 1/2 Calculate the CPI for Benchmark program The CPU execution time on the benchmark program is exactly 12 seconds. What is the MIPS processor speed for the benchmark program in millions of instructions per second? The formula for calculating MIPS is: MIPS = Clock rate/ (CPI * 10%)
