A computer with 5 stage pipeline like the one descrive in class delas with conditional branches by stalling for the next three cycles, so that it knows which branch to take. How much does stalling hurt the perfromance, if 20% of all instruction are conditional branches

This problem has been solved! see the answeran evil king has a cellar containing n bottles of expensive wine, and his guards have just caught a spy trying to poison the king’s wine. fortunately, the guards caught the spy after he succeeded in poisoning only one bottle. unfortunately, they don’t know which one. to make matters worse, the poison the spy used was very deadly; just one drop diluted even a billion to one will still kill someone. even so, the poison works slowly; it takes a full month for the person to die. design a scheme that allows the evil king to determine exactly which one of his wine bottles was poisoned in just one month’s time while expending at most o(logn) of his taste testers.you are not allowed to use n testers, one for each bottle, and see which one tester dies after 30 days.(no pseudocode needed. just answer in words, how many testers you use, how you use them and why you correctly identify the poisoned bottle in 30 days)

Data is processed, stored, and transmitted as a series of 1s and 0s. each 1 or 0 is called a(n) . a series of eight 0s and 1s, called a(n) , represents one character—a letter, number, or punctuation mark. data becomes when it is presented in a format that people can understand and use. digital signals are represented by two different , such as +5 volts and +.2 volts. digital data can also take the form of light and dark spots etched onto the surface of a cd or the positive and negative orientation of particles on the surface of a hard disk. data consists of numbers that might be used in arithmetic operations. it can be represented digitally using the number system. data is composed of letters, symbols, and numerals that are not used in arithmetic operations. computers represent this type of data using , ebcdic, unicode, or utf-8. data is quantified using terms such as or kibibyte (1024 bytes), and prefixes such as or mebi (1,048,576), and giga or (1,073,741,824). to reduce file size and transmission times, digital data can be compressed. compression provides the means to compress data and reconstitute it into its original state. compression throws away some of the original data during the compression process. compressed files usually have at the end of the file name and are represented with special icons. these files have to be or unzipped before you can view the data they contain.
