The document discusses how user programs and OS routines share the processor using examples and diagrams. It also asks questions about code sequences, instruction counts, and CPI for different sequences. Superscalar operation and multithreading are mentioned. Instruction sequencing and specifying operand location in instructions are also discussed.

1.

Explain how user program and OS routines shares the processor


with a suitable example and diagram.
2. A compiler designer is trying to decide between two code
sequences for a particular computer. The hardware designers
have supplied the following facts:
Instruction Class
CPI

For a particular high-level language statement, the


compiler writer is considering two code sequences that require
the following instruction counts:
Instruction counts for each instruction class
Code

Sequence

Which code sequence executes the most instructions?


Which will be faster? What is the CPI for each sequence?
3. Explain about Superscalar operation and Multithreading.

1. Explain the concept of instruction sequencing.


2. Suppose there are 2 implementations of the same instruction set
architecture. Computer A has a clock cycle time of 250 ps and a
CPI of 2.0 for some program, and computer B has a clock cycle
time of 500 ps and a CPI of 1.2 for the same program. Which
computer is faster for this program and by how much?
3. How the location of an operand is specified in an instruction?
Explain in detail
