Many advocates for GENE editing/CRISPR make the argument that it is useful in preventing diseases in humans/animals that are "genetic/DNA-related", but
where is the line drawn? If I am a parent that wants to make my unborn baby
6"4 or increase my child's life expectancy and I make the argument that it's for
my child's safety as the bigger my child is, the less inclined they will be
challenged to physical fights as they grow older - should this be allowed?
What if someone decided to make human-animal hybrids (it is possible) in the
name of "to make humans more resistant to certain illnesses"? Should this be
allowed? What if you hate the idea gene-editing and would like to BAN it
altogether - what would you do about vaccines? Many vaccines in the real-
world (today) modify one's RNA which store genetical information (extremely
similar to DNA) - where do you draw the line?

When making changes to optimize part of a processor, it is often the case that speeding up one type of instruction comes at the cost of slowing down something else. for example, if we put in a complicated fast floating-point unit, that takes space, and something might have to be moved farther away from the middle to accommodate it, adding an extra cycle in delay to reach that unit. the basic amdahl's law equation does not take into account this trade-off. a. if the new fast floating-point unit speeds up floating-point operations by, on average, 2ă—, and floating-point operations take 20% of the original program's execution time, what is the overall speedup (ignoring the penalty to any other instructions)? b. now assume that speeding up the floating-point unit slowed down data cache accesses, resulting in a 1.5ă— slowdown (or 2/3 speedup). data cache accesses consume 10% of the execution time. what is the overall speedup now? c. after implementing the new floating-point operations, what percentage of execution time is spent on floating-point operations? what percentage is spent on data cache accesses?
