Transcribed Image Text:### Understanding Instruction Cycles in a Computer Program
A computer program is composed of three types of instructions:
1. **Load Instructions**: These constitute 40% of the program.
- Each load instruction takes 3 clock cycles to execute.
2. **Arithmetic Instructions**: These make up 30% of the program.
- Each arithmetic operation requires 7 clock cycles to execute.
3. **Floating Point Instructions**: The remaining percentage comprises floating point instructions.
- Each floating point instruction takes 15 clock cycles to execute.
The processor used here operates at a frequency of 2.3 GHz. The program is completed in a total time of 15 seconds.
**Problem Statement:**
Calculate the total number of instructions in the program given the execution time and the clock cycles required for each type of instruction.
**Solution Approach:**
To solve this problem, one would typically:
- Determine the total clock cycles executed based on the processor speed and execution time.
- Use the distribution and clock cycle requirements of each instruction type to calculate the total number of instructions.

- Why is it that the CPU normally only interacts with memory?(Recall that input and output normally travel through memory, and the CPU loads and stores data from memory.)arrow_forwardPlease answer all the following questions. 1. In a hypothetical computer, the processor has four registers: an 8-bit Program Counter (PC), a 16-bit Accumulator (AC), a 16-bit Counter (CTR), and a 12-bit Pointer (PTR). The memory is divided into words each of which is 16-bit long. Each word can hold either an instruction or a piece of data. For each instruction X, the four most significant bits (denoted by X15-12) represent an opcode. The rest of the instruction (denoted by X11-0) can be either an address or a value of an operand. The table below explains some of the instructions supported by the processor. Opcode (binary) 0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 Operation Load AC from a memory location whose address is X11-0. Store AC into a memory location whose address is X11-0. Add to AC the contents of a memory location whose address is the value of PTR. The result is saved to AC. 1100 Subtract from AC the contents of a memory location whose address is the value…arrow_forwardComputer Architecture (3) Consider a computer that has a number of registers such that three registers R0=1500, R1=4500, and R2=1000.Show the effective address ofmemory and the registers contents in each of the following instructions.(assume that all numbers are decimal and instruction format Op-Code Source, Destintation).arrow_forward
- 7. For both of the instructions shown below, the initial conditions are shown. The result (which the instruction stores in r1) is also shown. For each instruction, answer these questions: • What is the state of the flags (NZCV) after the instruction executes • If the operands were signed, are the results valid? Why or why not? • If the operands were unsigned, are the results valid? Why or why not? a) initial conditions: r0 = 0xAAAA_AAAA rl=0x5555_5555 ADDS rl,rl,ro Result: r1=0xFFFF_FFFF b) initial conditions: r0=0x7FFF_FFFD r1 = 0x0000_000F ADDS rl,ro,r1 Result: r1=0x8000_000Carrow_forwardThe following statements describe the basic CPU organization.
