Suppose that you are working with a CISC machine using a 1.8 GHz clock (i. e., the clock ticks 1.8 billion times per second). This particular computer uses MASM-like instructions with the following timings: add reg, mem 9 clock cycles (i. e., the ADD micro-program has 9 instructions)
add reg, immed 3 clock cycles
loop label 7 clock cycles

Suppose that the following code fragment is used to sum elements of a numeric array. For this problem, assume that memory limitations are non-existent and that there is no limit to the size of the array.

mov bx, 0 ;initialize sum
mov ecx, MAX_SIZE ;initialize loop counter
mov esi, OFFSET list ;initialize array pointer
more:
add bx, esi[esi][esi] ;add current list element
add \textrm{6}66, 2 ;move array pointer to next element
loop more ;auto-decrement ecx, jump to more if ecx ≠ 0

Required:
After initialization, how many array elements can be processed in 4 ms?
