Laura is in the middle of making a presentation. on one slide, she includes a heading, three subheadings, and three bullet points that consist of key phrases. how should laura the audience distinguish between, or emphasize, the heading, subheadings, and key phrases in the body text?

The reset circuit used on the four 3-bit counters analyzed in this activity reset the counts to zero (000). it makes sense for the up-counters to start at zero (000), but the down-counters should start at seven (111). what would you need to change so that the 3-bit binary down counter with j/k flip-flops you just created would reset to seven (111)?

Technician a says that with self-adjusting clutch systems, the release bearing constantly rotates. technician b says that the ball bearing portion of the release bearing should be lubricated with high-temperature grease during routine maintenance. which technician is correct?

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?
