問題詳情
2.4 Assume that 25% operations of a computation task are floating-point operations and averageCPI (cycles per instruction) for floating-point operations and other operations are 4.0 and 1.33respectively. Sup ppose that 2% of the floating-poi operations in the task are floating- -point divisionwhich has CPI = 20. Assume that the two design altemnatives are to decrease the CPI of the foating-point division to 2 or the decrease the average CPI of all floating-point operations to 2.5. Comparethese two design alternatives using processor performance equation. Which design choice is better?Why? Hint: compute the CPI values of different designs.e the floating-point
