Consider a 10-stage pipeline and a set of instruction which contains 50% independent and 50% dependent instructions. Let, the time required to finish an instruction is , and the overhead associated with each latch is . What is largest value of (w. r.t. ), so that the 10- stage pipelining of this instruction set is beneficial (in terms of time saving) compared to a un-pipelined execution of the same instruction set.

The output voltage of a power supply is assumed to be normally distributed. sixteen observations are taken at random on voltage are as follows: 10.35, 9.30, 10.00, 9.96, 11.65, 12.00, 11.25, 9.58, 11.54, 9.95, 10.28, 8.37, 10.44, 9.25, 9.38, and 10.85

Which of the following statements is incorrect in relation to processes: while, strictly speaking, at any instant of time, the cpu is running only one process, in the course of 1 second, it may work on several of them, giving the illusion of parallelism a process is just an instance of an executing program, including the current values of the program counter, registers, and variables processes can be created when an operating system is booted, created by the user, or a running process can create children processes there is a master process, which when started can last forever, and is not killable
