Consider three different processors P1, P2, and P3 executing the same instruction set. P1 has a 3 GHz clock rate and a CPI of 1.5. P2 has a 2.5 GHz clock rate and a CPI of 1.0. P3 has a 4.0 GHz clock rate and has a CPI of 2.2.

a. Find execution time for each processor for a program with 2 x 10 9 instructions. Which one is the fastest?

b. If the processors each execute a program in 10 seconds, find the number of instructions that they are running? We are trying to reduce the execution time by 20% but this leads to an increase of 10% in the CPI. What clock rate should we have to get this time reduction for each processor?
