Designers are comparing performance between a multi-core processor equipped with 16 in-order cores and a dual-core superscalar processor. The dual-core superscalar processor has two identical Out- of-Order cores. Each core is a 4-issue superscalar. The multi-core processor has 16 in-order processor cores. Each in-order core of the multi-core processor can achieve about one third the performance of the OoO superscalar core. A benchmark program K includes both sequential codes that can only be executed on one CPU core and parallel codes that can be distributed to multiple CPU cores. For program K, execution of the sequential codes takes 30% of the total execution time. Required:
Which processor would deliver faster performance for benchmark program K and show your calculations?
