Homework 3
Please do the following exercises starting on page 107 in the book.
- 8 a, d
- 9 (a,d)
- 14
- Assume that the machine in Figure 3.13 takes at least one clock
cycle per state.
- How many cycles will an instruction take?
- Assume the clock runs at 1MHz. How many instructions per second
can this system execute?
- Assume memory cycle time is 80 nanoseconds. How long will an
instruction take to execute now?
- How many instructions per second can the machine sustain with
this memory speed?
- Repeat the above question for a machine with a clock that runs at 100MHz
- 17 a, e
- 18 a, e
