Question

Which of the following is not a step involved in the estimation of MIPS change induced by re-hosting scenarios?

(a) Translation of instruction mix to the new processor

(b) Determination of instruction mix of the library object

(c) Deposition of instruction mix to the new processor

(d) Determination of demand per processor to manage resource utilization

I had been asked this question in exam.

This question is from Performance Management Tradeoffs topic in portion Technology Tradeoffs in Software Defined Radio of Cognitive Radio

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) Deposition of instruction mix to the new processor

The best explanation: The change induced in MIPS due to re-hosting scenarios is computed by determining the instruction mix of the library object, translating the instruction mix to the new processor, and determining demand per processor to manage resource utilization. It is important to determine this parameter to compute the number of new processors required for large scale application.
