Question: processor clock frequency, MHz performance, MIPS CPU time, secs VAX 11/780 5 1 12x IBM RS/6000 25 18 x The final column shows that the
| processor | clock frequency, MHz | performance, MIPS | CPU time, secs |
| VAX 11/780 | 5 | 1 | 12x |
| IBM RS/6000 | 25 | 18 | x |
The final column shows that the VAX required 12 times longer than the IBM measured in CPU time. 1. What is the relative size of the instruction count of the machine code for this benchmark program running on the two machines?
The instruction count is Ic and MIPS is in millions, therefore:
Ic = T * [(MIPS rate)/106]
2. What are the CPI values for the two machines?
CPI is cycles per instruction or MHz/MIPS
