Consider a multilevel computer in which levels are vertically stacked, with the lowest level being level 1. each level has instructions that are m times as powerful as those of the level below it; that is, one level r instruction can do the work of m instructions at level r-1. however, n instructions at level r-1 are required to interpret each instruction at level r. given this, answer the following questions: a) if a level 1 program requires k seconds to run, how long would the equivalent program take to run at levels 2, 3 and 4. express your answer in terms of n, m, and r. b) what is the performance implication for the program if n > m? conversely, what is the implication if m > n? which case do you think more likely? why?

Write code using c . (take input from user) calculate the size of a given file in kbs. in this task you will complete the function with the following prototype: float get_file_size(char * filename); the function takes the file name (address to the start of a null terminated character array) as input. the function should then open the file and find the number of bytes it contains till eof. the number of bytes divided by 1024 will give the size in kbs. if the file cannot be opened the function should return -1.

The volume v and paper surface area a of a conical paper cup are given by where r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is the height of the cone. a. by eliminating h, obtain the expression for a as a function of r and v. b. create a user-de ned function that accepts r as the only argument and computes a for a given value of v. declare v to be global within the function. c. for v ! 10 in.3 , use the function with the fminbnd function to compute the value of r that minimizes the area a. what is the corresponding value of the height h? investigate the sensitivity of the solution by plotting v versus r. how much can r vary about its optimal value before the area increases 10 percent above its minimum value?
