Unitizing Things

  1. MIPS and MFLOPS are not identical measures, even though they both measure millions of operations per second. Explain why not.

  2. What is the clock cycle time of a system with a 1.2GHz clock?

  3. Explain why increasing performance is good, while a decrease is bad. Answer the same question for execution time.

  4. Express CPU performance in terms of clocks per instruction, number of instructions, and clock rate.
