A program spends 30% of its time performing I/O operations, 25% of its time doing encryptions, and the remaining 45% of its time doing general computations. The user is considering purchasing one of three possible enhancements, all of which are of equal cost: (a) a new I/O module which will speed up I/O operations by a factor of 2, (b) adding encryption hardware which will cut the encryption time by 70%, and (c) a faster processor which will reduce the processing time for both general computations and encryptions by 40%. Which of these three enhancements will provide the best speedup? Hint: This is an application of Amdahl’s Law.

*write a program that defines symbolic names for several string literals (chars between quotes). * use each symbolic name in a variable definition. * use of symbolic to compose the assembly code instruction set can perform vara = (vara - varb) + (varc - vard); ensure that variable is in unsigned integer data type. * you should also further enhance your symbolic logic block to to perform expression by introducing addition substitution rule. vara = (vara+varb) - (varc+vard).
