Processor R is a 64-bit RISC processor with a 2 GHz clock rate. The average instruction requires one cycle to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. Processor C is a CISC processor with a 1.8 GHz clock rate. The average simple instruction requires one cycle to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. The average complex instruction requires two cycles to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. Processor R can’t directly implement the complex processing instructions of Processor C. Executing an equivalent set of simple instructions requires an average of three cycles to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. Program S contains nothing but simple instructions. Program C executes 70% simple instructions and 30% complex instructions. Which processor will execute program S more quickly? Which processor will execute program C more quickly? At what percentage of complex instructions will the performance of the two processors be equal?

A given computer has a single cache memory (off-chip) with a 2 ns hit time and a 98% hitrate. Its main memory has 40 ns access time. What is the computer’s effective access time? If an on-chip cache with a 0.5 ns hit time and a 94% hit rate is added to it, what isthe computer’s new effective access time? How much of a speedup does the on-chip cache give the computer?
Assume an I/O device may only wait for an interrupt to be handled for up to 1 millisecond, and that a RISC processor executes each instruction in 2 microseconds. There is a hard limit on the number of instructions that may be executed with interruptions deactivated.
A computer employs RAM chips of 512 x 4 and ROM chips of 256 x 8. The computer system needs 1KB of RAM, and 512 x 8 ROM and an interface unit with 256 registers each.
