A program runs on a superscalar processor with a 2 GHz clock rate within a NUMA (non-uniform memory access) system. The number of instructions executed in the program is IC. The superscalar processor achieves an IPC (instructions per cycle) rating of 2 for instructions that do not reference remote memory. Each instruction that does reference remote memory incurs an additional 200 ns penalty over those that do not reference remote memory. The percentage of program instructions that access remote memory is 0.2%. What speedup is achieved for the program if the remote memory access penalty is somehow reduced to 10 ns per access

Acomputer is a multipurpose device that accepts input, processes data, stores data, and produces output, all according to a series of stored . the processing unit of most modern computers is a(n) . the instructions that tell a computer how to carry out a task are referred to as computer , which are distributed as software. computers run three main types of software: software, system software, and development tools. an example of system software is a computer system, which is essentially the master controller for all the activities that a digital device performs. digital devices are constructed using tiny electronic components that represent data bits as electrical signals. the system unit houses the system board, which contains several circuits made from semiconducting materials. computers come in three popular form factors: component, , and slate. many of today's digital devices operate on battery power supplied by ion batteries. battery life and lifespan can be extended by following good battery management practices.
