Exercise 4
You have a CPU with a 4.8 GHz clock rate. Both the fetch and execution cycles are 50% of the clock cycle. The average instruction requires 0.5 nanoseconds to complete execution. Main memory access speed for a single instruction is 2 nanoseconds on average. What is the expected average MIPS rate for this CPU? What modern microprocessor architectural features might be added to the CPU to improve its MIPS rate?
