Which of the following refers to a condition in which the CPU performs well but the bus speed is slow? Question 65 options: 1) Bottlenecking 2) Clock speed 3) Reboot 4) Instructions per cycle (IPC)
Added by Jennifer S.
Step 1
- **Bottlenecking** refers to a situation where the performance of a system is limited by a single component, which can be slower than others, causing delays. - **Clock speed** is the speed at which a CPU can execute instructions, measured in hertz. - **Reboot** Show more…

Assume that a pipelined processor has three categories of instructions: Branch, load/store, other. If it is a branch instruction it will take 3 clock cycles, if it is a load/ store instruction it will take 4 clock cycles and all other instructions require 6 clock cycles. A program consisting of $10 \%$ Branch instructions, $10 \%$ of load/store instructions is executed on this processor. Then the number of clock cycles required for the execution of the program is (A) $2.45$ (B) $3.61$ (C) $4.66$ (D) $5.5$

1. Calculate the overall speedup of a system that spends 65% of its time in calculations with a processor upgrade that provides for 125% greater throughput. 2. Suppose your company has decided that it needs to make certain busy servers faster to achieve an overall system speedup of 35%. Processes in the workload spend 65% of their time using the CPU and 45% on I/O: How much faster does the CPU need to be? How much faster does the disk need to be?
