QUESTION:

Determine the clock rate required to give a further 10% reduction in CPU time while maintaining the number of instructions and with the CPI unchanged.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

From the previous questions, we have the information:-

1. CPI=1.61

2. Execution Time= 864 ns (after 10% reduction in 1.11.9)

3. Clock rate= 4GHz

4. Instruction count = 2.1461012(after 10% reduction in execution time in 1.11.9)

We have to determine the clock rate which will provide a further 10% reduction in CPU time, without changing the number of instructions and CPI.
