CS 466: Advanced Computer Architecture


Solutions for hw #1

1.1
a. use the formula
speedupoverall = 1/((1-Frac.enhanced) + (Frac.enhanced/Speedup.enhanced))
and plot the reults.
b. 0.53
c. 0.95
d. By increasing the % of vectorization by 1% (71% of vectorization) we will be able to get the same performance as doubling the speed of vector hardware

1.2
a. 5.5
b. 91%

1.12
a. 0.36
b. 82%
c. enhancement 3; enhancement 1 and 3

1.15
a. 1.17
