- Assume that, today, a wafer containing 120 processor dies costs 10000$. The yield decreases by 10% at each year while the wafer cost also decreases by 20% at each year. Then, what will be the cost of a single chip manufacturing after 4 years? Show your computations. Edit: Assume, today, there is a yield of 80%.
- A compiler designer wants to compare the performance of two different compilers he designed. The compilers are generating MIPS machine code from a C program. He compiles the same C program using the two compilers.
- According to the tables below, find which compiler is better and by how many times it is better than the other?
| R-type (x106) | I-Type (x106) | J-Type (x106) | |
| Compiler A | 50 | 10 | 2 |
| Compiler B | 80 | 5 | 1 |
| R-type | I-Type | J-Type | |
| Required Cycles | 2 | 4 | 3 |
- What must be the clock speed of the processor so that the program compiled with the better compiler executes in 100ms?
