Suppose you have a RISC machine with a 2 GHz clock (ie, the clock ticks 2 billion times per second). This particular computer uses an instruction cache, a data cache, an operand fetch unit, and an operand store unit. The instruction set includes simple instructions with the following timings: SET reg, inned; 2 clock cycles LOAD reg. ; 3 clock cycles ADD reg, reg; 2 clock cycles ADD reg, inned; 1 clock cycles LOOP LabelName; 2 clock cycles Assume that the following code fragment is used to sum the element of a numeric array. SET regi, SET reg2, MAX SIZE SET reg), glist _ProcessArray: LOAD reg4, [reg3) regi, reg reg3, 4 ADD ADD LOOP ProcessArray Initialize sum initialize loop counter initialize array pointer fetch current List element odd current List element move array pointer to next element pouto-decrement reg2, jump to more if reg20 If the initialization code has already executed (i.e. the SET instructions have already finished execution) how many array elements can be processed 4.2 milliseconds (ms)? Round your answer to the nearest integer. Recall that 1 ms -0.001 seconds. Also assume that there are no physical memory limitations, implying that the array can be as large as desired.
