Consider two different implementations, M1 and M2, of the same instruction set. 

Consider two different implementations, M1 and M2, of the same instruction set. There are three classes of instructions (A, B, and C) in the instruction set. M1 has a clock rate of 80 MHz and M2 has a clock rate of 100 MHz. The average number of cycles for each instruction class and their frequencies (for a typical program) are as follows: Instruction Class Machine M1- Cycles/Instruction Class Machine M2 - Cycles/Instruction Frequency A B 1 2 4 Class 2 3 4 C Calculate the average CPI for machine M1. (The answer is numerical value without unit) Answer: 60% 30% 10%
