Detailed explanation-1: -Two processors A and B have clock frequencies of 700 Mhz and 900 Mhz respectively. Suppose A can execute an instruction with an average of 3 steps and B can execute with an average of 5 steps. For the execution of the same instruction which processor is faster ? Correct answer is option ‘A’.
Detailed explanation-2: -For a given FINITE number of instructions to be executed, which architecture of the processor provides for a faster execution? Explanation: In super-scalar architecture, the instructions are set in groups and they’re decoded and executed together reducing the amount of time required to process them.
Detailed explanation-3: -A sequences of instructions that specify the chronological order in which instructions of concurrent transactions are executed. A schedule for a set of transactions must consist of all instructions of those transactions.
Detailed explanation-4: -The clock rate of the processor can be improved by a)Improving the IC technology of the logic circuitsb)Reducing the amount of processing done in one stepc)By using overclocking methodd)All of the mentionedCorrect answer is option ‘D’.
