Q1
1. A certain computer system has 4 levels of languages. The actual physical machine can execute 2 billion L0 instructions per second. On average, each L1 instruction requires five L0 instructions, each L2 instruction requires four L1 instructions, and each L3 instruction requires two L2 instructions. On average, how long would it take the system to execute a 1000-line program written in the L3 language?
Q2
Assume that The University of Florida bought 3 MHz (megahertz) computers for the computer labs in the summer of 1991 and then replaced them with new computers every three years. If the increases in speed followed Moore's Law, what would be the approximate speed of the current lab computers?
please help ASAP
thanks!
Explanation / Answer
Q1) 1,000 L3 instructions = 2,000 L2 instructions 2,000 L2 instructions = 8,000 L1 Instructions 8,000 L1 instructions = 40,000 L0 instructions 40,000 / 2,000,000,000 (2 billion) = 0.00002 seconds Q2) The speed of computers double every 2 years by moores law -1991- 3 -1993- 6 -1995- 12 -1997- 24 -1999- 48 -2001- 96 -2003- 192 -2005- 384 -2007- 768 -2009- 1536 note how i stop at 2009 as that would be a 3rd year and the school wouldn't have bought any in 2010 or 2011 (the next upgrade being 2012)
