: 請問這題要怎麼解?

execution time = cycle time * cpi * # of instructions
old machine:
cycle time = 1 (normalized)
cpi = 15% * 12 + 85% * 4 = 1.8 + 3.4 = 5.2
# of instructions = 1 (normalized)
execution time = 1 * 5.2 * 1 = 5.2
new machine:
cycle time = 1.2 (normalized)
cpi = 15% * 8 + 85% * 4 = 1.2 + 3.4 = 4.6
# of instructions = 1(normalized)
execution time = 1.2 * 4.6 * 1 = 5.52
因為新的機器 execution time 較長所以 performance 較差，
不應該為了效能的原因作這個修改。
