Question

Programming

Course: Computer Architecture (Theme: Input-Output)

  1. A computer consists of a processor and an I/O device Dconnected to main memory M via a shared bus with a data bus widthof one word. The processor can execute a max of 2 MIPS. An averageinstruction requires 5 machine cycles, 3 of which use the memorybus. A memory read/write operation uses 1 m/c cycle. Suppose thatthe processor is continuously executing “background” programs thatrequire 96% of the instruction rate but not any I/O instructions.Assume that one processor cycle equals one bus cycle. Now supposethe I/O device is used to transfer very large amounts of databetween M and D.
    1. If programmed I/O is used and each one word transfer requiresthe processor to execute 3 instructions, estimate the max I/O datatransfer rate in words/sec possible through D?
    2. Estimate the same rate if DMA is used?
