Assume that the matrix multiplication unit can be utilized by 70% of applicationprograms. It is suggested by the hardware team that the matrix multiplication unit speedup of 20 can be doubled, albeit at significant engineering cost. An alternative would be to adopt compiler optimizations. In such a case, how much additional time would the compiler optimization have to dedicate to using the matrix multiplication unit with a speedup of 20 in order to match the overall performance under the new matrix multiplication unit?
