A. Compute the average instruction length (AIL) for the variable-length instruction encoding
scheme in Table 1.
B. Compute the memory storage requirements (in bytes) for the test program under the
variable-length instruction encoding scheme (Table 1) if it contains 1 billion (i.e., 1 x 10º)
instructions.
C. Compute the memory savings (as a percentage) compared to a baseline fixed-length
instruction encoding scheme with 32 bits per instruction for the test program with 1 billion
(i.e., 1 x 10°) instructions.
