- Q.In a computer instruction format, the instruction length is 11 bits and the size of an address field is 4 bits. Is it possible to have 32 zero-address instructions using the specified format? Justify your answer.arrow_forwardYour favorite computer program (after being converted to MIPS assembly code, then to machine code) results in 2.5e8 instructions. Consider the three different CPUs and their clock rates and CPIs and determine how much time it would take each of them to execute this program. Rick Sanchez’s computer with a clock rate 7.99 Hz (hertz, not gigahertz) and a CPI of 1.1.arrow_forwardSuppose we have two implementations of the same instruction set architecture. Computer A has a clock cycle time of 210 ps and a CPI of 2.2 for some programs, and computer B has a clock cycle time of 460 ps and a CPI of 1.3 for the same program. Which computer is faster for this program and by how much? Please and thank youarrow_forward
