You are designing a write buffer between a write-through L1 cache and a write-back L2 cache. The L2 cache write data bus is 16 B wide and can perform a write to an independent cache address every four processor cycles.

a. How many bytes wide should each write buffer entry be?
b. What speedup could be expected in the steady state by using a merging write buffer instead of a non-merging buffer when zeroing memory by the execution of 64-bit stores if all other instructions could be issued in parallel with the stores and the blocks are present in the L2 cache?
c. What would be the effect of possible L1 misses on the number of required write buffer entries for systems with blocking and non-blocking caches?

For this assignment you have to write a c program that will take an infix expression as input and display the postfix expression of the input. after converting to the postfix expression, the program should evaluate the expression from the postfix and display the result. what should you submit? write all the code in a single file and upload the .c file. compliance with rules: ucf golden rules apply towards this assignment and submission. assignment rules mentioned in syllabus, are also applied in this submission. the ta and instructor can call any students for explaining any part of the code in order to better assess your authorship and for further clarification if needed. problem: we as humans write math expression in infix notation, e. g. 5 + 2 (the operators are written in-between the operands). in computer's language, however, it is preferred to have the operators on the right side of the operands, ie. 5 2 +. for more complex expressions that include parenthesis and multiple operators, a compiler has to convert the expression into postfix first and then evaluate the resulting postfix write a program that takes an "infix" expression as input, uses stacks to convert it into postfix expression, and finally evaluates it. it must support the following operations: + - / * ^ % ( example infix expression: (7-3)/(2+2) postfix expression: 7 3 2 2 result: rubric: 1) if code does not compile in eustis server: 0. 2) checking the balance of the parenthesis: 2 points 3) incorrect postfix expression per test case: -2 points 4) correct postfix but incorrect evaluation per test case: -i points 5) handling single digit inputs: maximum 11 points 6) handling two-digit inputs: 100 percent (if pass all test cases)

Given int variables k and total that have already been declared, use a while loop to compute the sum of the squares of the first 50 counting numbers, and store this value in total. thus your code should put 11 + 22 + 33 + + 4949 + 50*50 into total. use no variables other than k and total.
