------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CS-450: Fall 1995 Introduction to Computer Architecture Homework Assignment #6 Due Date: 12/12/1995 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solve problems 9.5, 9.7, 12.16, 12.19, 12.21, 12.23 (Mano, "Computer System Architecture", 3rd Edition) Also, solve the following problem... Two machines (I & II) executed a hypothetical benchmark program. Machine I was clocked at 5 MHz, executed 1 MIPS, with a CPU time of 12x seconds. Machine II was clocked at 25 MHz, executed 18 MIPS, with a CPU time of 1x seconds. Which of the two machines would you guess to be a RISC architecture? and which one would you guess to be a CISC architecture? Why? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
