The function of the C program is to calculate the slack time of each node in a graph which is used to represent a circuit. You can download two files from the Blackboard: slack.c- the graph-based time slack analysis program. inputs.txt - the input matrix for slack.c; contains each node's delay information. You can invoke the sim-wattch in the following way: 1) Compile C source code Q Search ../../bin/sslittle-na-sstrix-gcc[space]-o[space]slack[space]slack.c 2) Power estimation by using WATTCH ../../sim-wattch-1.02d/sim-outorder[space]-config[space]my_config[space]- redir:sim[space]sim.log[space]-redir:prog[space]prog.out[space]slack Nodes G I A B D H K J C 9 of 10 Here you should make sure that the inputs.txt' file is in the same folder as 'slack.c', so that the slack analysis program can automatically read that input file. After simulation, the 'slack' file will automatically generate an 'outputs.txt' file, which records all the calculation results as follows: Mo PRE Arrival 3 4 6 8 12 7 7 15 16 CD Required 12 15 6 8 27 16 16 24 16 H Slack 9 11 0 0 15 9 9 9 0 8 o {" @ 60 4) 68 S : | 8:58 PM 1/30/2024 X + A ill 19 TA 35F Cloudy PDF ECE530_HW1.docx.pdf X Draw HW1 Description-2024s.pdf File C:/Users/kesha/OneDrive/Desktop/ECE %20530/HW1-SP24/HW1%20Description-2024s.pdf IT.

Find your optimal cache parameters for level-1 and level-2 caches in terms of power Q Search *Note: You can survey more low-power techniques at software level in literature, and then, apply the techniques if they can reduce more power. Then you will get extra points. When you submit the homework, You should include the followings in your report: 1) Briefly explain your implementation of the software transformation and cache configuration for low power (Task 1 and Task 2) Note: Submitting the slack.c file without explanation will receive 0 credits (1 want to know how you came up with your answer) 2) Output results (Task1 and Task 2); (Provide a screenshot, use a table) 3) Power estimation results (Task 1 and Task 2); (Use a table) 4) Explanation about correlation between your software transformation method and cache configuration for ultra-low power (Task 2).
