Question

The Count, N can be defined as

(a) required delay/duration for execution

(b) duration of execution/required delay

(c) required delay/number of clock cycles

(d) required delay/period of clock frequency

The question was posed to me in a national level competition.

I'd like to ask this question from Timings and Delays in chapter Special Architectural Features and Related Programming of Microprocessor

Answer 1

The correct option is (a) required delay/duration for execution

The explanation: The count N can be defined as the required time delay by the duration for execution of the loop once.

             Count, N = required delay (Td)/duration for execution of the loop once (n*T).
