Attempt all questions:

Q1: (Marks 06=4+2)

Consider two different machines, with two different instruction sets, both of which have a clock rate of 100
THz. The following measurements are recorded on the two machines running a given set of benchmark
programs:

Instruction Type Instruction Count Cycles per Instruction

(millions)
(Machine A)
Arithmetic and logic 6 3
Load and store 3 4
Branch 2 5
Others 6 5
Machine(B)
Arithmetic and logic 10 2
Load and store 6 4
Branch 2 6
Others 2 4

(a) Determine the effective CPI, MIPS rate for each machine.
(b) Comment on the results which machine is better.
Q2: (Marks=07=4+3)
Consider A benchmark program is run on a 50 MHz processor. The executed program consists of 100,000
instruction executions, with the following instruction mix and clock cycle count:
Instruction Type Instruction Count Cycles per Instruction
Integer Arithmetic 35000 2

 Data Transfer 40000 1
Floating Point 20000 4
Control Transfer 5000 3

The above program running on a single processor such that a fraction 0.6 of the execution time involves code
that is inherently serial and a fraction 0.4 that involves code that is infinitely parallelizable with no
scheduling overhead. Let T be the total execution time of the program using a single processor.
(a) Calculate the execution time for the above program.
(b) Calculate the speedup using a parallel processor with 8 processors that fully exploits the parallel
portion of the program by exploiting Amdahl’s law?

Q3: (Marks=06)

Execute the following program using

(a) Stack Architecture Instructions Set
(b) Accumulator Architecture Instructions Set
(c) General Purpose Register Instructions using two address Fields

F= 4(C+D) – (4A+B)

Q4: (Marks=06)

Suppose DH contains (6B)16 hexadecimal, AH=(CB)16 , CF=1, and CL contains 5, What are
the values of DH after the following instructions:

AND DH,AH
RCL DH, CL.
Show the details of your work in the following table format.
