Program Plan Intro

Virtual address and physical address:

  • Virtual page number (VPN) and virtual page offset (VPO) are the two components of virtual address.
  • Physical page number (PPN) and physical page offset (PPO) are the two components of physical address.
  • The physical page offset (PPO) is identical to the virtual page offset (VPO).

1. We wish to compare the performance of two different machines: M1 and M2. The following measurements have been made on these machines:   Program Time on M1 Time on M2 1 10 seconds 5 seconds 2 3 seconds 4 seconds Which machine is faster for each program, and by how much?   2. For M1 and M2 of problem 1, the following additional measurements are made:. Find the instruction execution rate (instructions per second) for each machine when running program 1.   Program Instructions executed on M1 Instructions executed on M2 1 200 x 106 160 x 106   3. For M1 and M2 of problem 1, if the clock rates are 200 MHz and 300 MHz, respectively, find the CPI for program 1 on both machines using the data provided in problems 1 and 2.   4. You are going to enhance a machine, and there are two possible improvements: either make multiply instructions run four times faster than before or make memory access instructions run two times faster than before. You…
1. Develop a mathematical model for measuring performance based on overall memory access time with a neat diagram for the following memory design and derive the formula to calculate the Overall Memory Access Time. Main Memory : 1 Internal Cache : 1 External Cache: 1 Register S and Register B have fastest access time: Data Search order [ Registers – Internal Cache – External Cache – Memory] [Hint: Register access time is considered negligible]
Section 1.0 cites as a pitfall the utilization of a subset of the performace equation as a performance metric. To illustrate this, consider the following two processors. P1 has a clock rate of 4GHz, average CPI of 0.9, and requires the execution of 5.0E9 instructions. P2 has a clock rate of 3GHz, an average CPI of 0.75, and requires the execution of 1.0E9 instructions. (1) A common fallacy is to use MIPS to compare the performace of two different processors, and consider that the processor with the largest MIPS has the largest performance. Check if this is true for P1 and P2. (2) Another common performace figure is MFLOPS, defined as   MFLOPS = No. FP operations / (execution time x 1E6)   but this figure has the same problems as MIPS. Assume that 40% of the instructions executed on both P1 and P2 are floating-point instructions. Find the MFLOPS figures for the processors.
