Processor A:RISC
8 bit address space
8 bit instructions
4 MHz max. clock speecd
Averages 4 clock cycles per instruction
Algorithm Q code size: 80 instructions
Cost: 20 money units
Processor B:
CISC
8 bit address space
16 bit instructions
20 MHz max clock speed
Averages 10 clock cycles per instruction
Algorithm Q code size: 40 instructions
Cost: 300 money units
We need to choose between processors A and B for a particular application which uses Algorithm Q. What are the predicted execution times for Algorithm Q if each processor is used with its maximum possible clock speed?
