Consider a pipelined processor with just one level of cache. Assume that in the absence of memory delays, the baseline CPI of this processor is 2. Now assume that the percentage of memory instructions in a typical program executed on this CPU is 50% and the memory access latency is 150 cycles. Assuming that the I-cache delays are already accounted for in the baseline CPI, consider the following two alternatives for the D-cache design: Alternative 1: A small D-cache with a hit rate of 94% and a hit access time of 1 cycle (assume that no additional cycles on top of the baseline CPI are added to the execution on a cache hit in this case).
Alter tive 2: A larger D-cache with a hit rate of 98% and the hit access time of 2 cycles (assume that every memory instruction that hits into the cache adds one additional cycle on top of the baseline CPI).
a) [5%] Estimate the CPI metric for both of these designs and determine which of these two designs provides better performance. Explain your answers
b) [5%] Repeat part (a), but now assume that the memory access latency is reduced to 50 cycles.
c) [5%] Repeat part (b), but now assume that the L2 cache is also added to the system with the hit rate of 75% and access latency of 10 cycles.

Now you’re on your own. include a short summary of this section with plots in your lab report. write a matlab script file to do steps (a) through (d) below. include a listing of the script file with your report. 1 the soundsc(xx,fs) function requires two arguments: the first one (xx) contains the vector of data to be played, the second argument (fs) is the sampling rate for playing the samples. in addition, soundsc(xx,fs) does automatic scaling and then calls sound(xx,fs) to actually play the signal. mcclellan, schafer, and yoder, dsp first, 2e, isbn 0-13-065562-7. prentice hall, upper saddle river, nj 07458. c 2015 pearson education, inc. 4 mcclellan, schafer and yoder, signal processing first. prentice hall, upper saddle river, new jersey, 2003. c 2003 prentice hall. (a) generate a time vector (tt) to cover a range of t that will exhibit approximately two cycles of the 4000 hz sinusoids defined in the next part, part (b). use a definition for tt similar to part 2.2(d). if we use t to denote the period of the sinusoids, define the starting time of the vector tt to be equal to t , and the ending time as ct . then the two cycles will include t d 0. finally, make sure that you have at least 25 samples per period of the sinusoidal wave. in other words, when you use the colon operator to define the time vector, make the increment small enough to generate 25 samples per period. (b) generate two 4000 hz sinusoids with arbitrary amplitude and time-shift. x1.t / d a1 cos.2

For positive constants a and b, the force between two atoms in a molecule is given f(r) = −a r2 + b r3 , where r > 0 is the distance between the atoms. note: a and b are upper case letters. (a) find f '(r) = (b) find the critical point for f(r). r = (c) find f ''(r) = (d) find the value of r so that f ''(r) = 0.

"gps interaction and cognitive process" respond to the following: imagine that you have been asked to design a gps product that will have voice recognition and bluetooth capability. discuss and conceptualize a user interaction model. predict two (2) problems that may arise in gps products with voice recognition and bluetooth capability. recommend solutions for each of these issues. attention is one of the six cognition processes. when attention is applied to a design, the goal is to make it easier for the end user to quickly locate where he / she should type information on the computer or mobile device screen. compare and contrast how the google search engine and the microsoft bing search engine employ the attention cognition process. provide your opinion as to which search engine better employs the attention cognition process and explain why.
