Calculate the overall speedup of a system that spends 65% of its time on I/O with a disk upgrade that provides for 50% greater throughput.
Calculate the overall speedup of a system that spends 40% of its time in calculations with a processor upgrade that provides for 100% greater throughput.
Amdahl’s Law is as applicable to software as it is to hardware. An oft-cited programming truism states that a program spends 90% of its time executing 10% of its code. Thus, tuning a small amount of program code can often time have an enormous effect on the overall performance of a software product. Determine the overall system speed up if: a. 90% of a program is made to run 10 times as fast (900% faster) b. 80% of a program is made to run 20% faster.
Suppose a disk has the following characteristics – 4 Surfaces -1024 Tracks per surface -128 Sectors per track -512 bytes/sector -Track-to-track seek time of 5 milliseconds -Rotational speed of 500 RPM a. What is the capacity of the drive? b. What is the access time?
Suppose a disk has the following characteristics – 5 Surfaces -1024 Tracks per surface -256 Sectors per track -512 bytes/sector -Track-to-track seek time of 8 milliseconds -Rotational speed of 7500 RPM a. What is the capacity of the drive? b. What is the access time?
