You use webshot to create desktop slide shows for your personal screen saver. your boss asks you to display your screen so that customers on the street can see your screen saver. what photos are fair game for this slide show a. any photo found on the internet b. any photo you take with a digital camera c. any photo on wikipedia. org d. any photos on yahoo's "most viewed photos"

Suppose you have 9 coins and one of them is heavier than others. other 8 coins weight equally. you are also given a balance. develop and algorithm to determine the heavy coin using only two measurements with the of the balance. clearly write your algorithm in the form of a pseudocode using the similar notation that we have used in the class to represent sorting algorithms

How would you categorize the software that runs on mobile devices? break down these apps into at least three basic categories and give an example of each.

When making changes to optimize part of a processor, it is often the case that speeding up one type of instruction comes at the cost of slowing down something else. for example, if we put in a complicated fast floating-point unit, that takes space, and something might have to be moved farther away from the middle to accommodate it, adding an extra cycle in delay to reach that unit. the basic amdahl's law equation does not take into account this trade-off. a. if the new fast floating-point unit speeds up floating-point operations by, on average, 2ă—, and floating-point operations take 20% of the original program's execution time, what is the overall speedup (ignoring the penalty to any other instructions)? b. now assume that speeding up the floating-point unit slowed down data cache accesses, resulting in a 1.5ă— slowdown (or 2/3 speedup). data cache accesses consume 10% of the execution time. what is the overall speedup now? c. after implementing the new floating-point operations, what percentage of execution time is spent on floating-point operations? what percentage is spent on data cache accesses?
