Suppose the daytime processing load consists of 60% CPU activity and 40% disk activity. Your customers are complaining that the system is slow. After doing some research, you learn that you can upgrade your disks for $8,000 to make them 2.5 times as fast as they are currently. You have also learned that you can upgrade your CPU to make it 1.4 times as fast for $5,000. a) Which would you choose to yield the best performance improvement for the least amount of money?
b) Which option would you choose if you donâ€™t care about the money, but want a faster system?
c) What is the break-even point for the upgrades? That is, what price would we need to charge for the CPU (or the diskâ€”change only one) so the result was the same cost per 1% increase for both?
