Please do the following exercises starting on page 106 in the book.
- Problem 1
- Problem 8 & 9 b, c and d
- Problem 10
- Problem 11, in tkgate please
- Problem 17
- Assume the longest path in our simple machine (p 89) needs a total of
20 ns to stabalize, that memory has an access time of 60 ns
access time, and that the bus clock operates at 12.5 MHz. Assume
that each instruction takes 6 clock cycles. Further assume that the
bus takes 1 ns to stabalize.
- Ignoring memory, what is the speed (in MHz) of our processor?
- Ignoring memory, what is the MIPS (Millions of Instructions Per
Second) rating of our processor?
- With memory, what is the speed (in MHz) of our processor?
- With memory, what is the speed (in MIPS) of our processor?
