The result of theSPEC CPU2006 bzip2 benchmarkrunning on anAMD Barcelonahas an instruction count of 2.389E12, and execution time of 750s and a reference time of 9650s.
a) Find theCPIif the clock cycle time is 0.333ns.
b) Find theSPECratio.
c) Find the increase in CPU time if the number of instructions of the benchmark is increased by 10% and the CPI is increased by 5%. Find the change in theSPECratiofor this change.
d) Suppose that we are developing a new version of theAMD Barcelonaprocessor with a 4GHz clock rate. We have added some additional instructions to the instruction set in such a way that the number of instructions has been reduced by 15%. The execution time is reduced to 700s and the newSPECratiois 13.7. Find the newCPI.
