Document Summary

What were the 4 types of benchmarks we discussed in class? (12) (4) register allocation is a very effective and useful compiler optimization. 2 - (15) (5) in an mos device, there is a gate, drain, and source. You hav e a choice between speeding up the fpsq instruction by a factor of 11, or making all oating point instructions run faster by a factor of 2. Which should you do? (show how you set up the equations, although you do not need to actually solve them. ) 3 - (19) (4) choosing the number of operands explicitly speci ed per instruction has an impact on the overall instruction size. Processor b requires 3 cycle per instruction, but only requires. So in spite of the fact that the operands can be fetched in a single cycle, stack machines are still not popular.
