Q1. Describe in detail the different bench marks available for assessing the total performance of the computer system.
Q2. Supposing 10ns clk cycles, 4 cycles for ALU operations and branches, 5 cycles for the memory operations, compute average instruction execution time for non-pipelined processor, if relative frequency of such operations are 40%, 20% and 40% correspondingly. Pipeline adds 1ns overload to the clock. Find out the speedup gained?
Q3. Describe the different categorizations of parallel computers.
Q4. Describe the delay due to data dependency in the RISC computers.
Q5. Write detail note on the given architectures:
a) Superscalar
b) Super-pipelined
c) VLIW architectures.
Q6. Compare and contrast the CISC with RISC architecture.
