Let's suppose that we have 2 design options to choose from: Design1: We can make part of a task 20X faster than it was before; this part of the task constitutes 10% of the overall task time Design 2: We can make 85% of the task 1.2X faster. a) Which design option is faster? b) What percentage of the code must be sped up by 20X to match performance of design 2? a) Design 2, b) 11.6% a) Design 2, b) 14.9% a) Design 1, b) 14.9% O Not possible!

A synthetic benchmark is a program constructed to have performance very similar to that of the real application program it models, but measuring it is never as accurate a prediction of your program performance as measuring your actual program. Why would one go through the effort of creating a synthetic benchmark and measuring its execution instead of measuring execution of the actual program? Briefly explain one scenario and how a synthetic benchmark is beneficial in that case.

Suppose you have been appointed as a Software Architect, for a project of an Airline Reservation System. As an architect your job is to make key decisions for the design and construction of the software by involving all the stakeholders. Your decisions will make serious impacts on the long-term quality and success of the project.

Instead of focusing solely on performance advantages, when arguing for deep access over superficial access, emphasise the benefits to the programmer.
Instruction: Based from the given scenarios, create a program (flowchart or actual source code) that applies to what was described. 1. Suppose you know that every employee in your organization has a seven-digit ID number used for logging on to the computer system. A loop would be useful to guess every combination of seven digits in an ID. Are there any circumstances in which you should try to guess another employee’s ID number? 2.
