The input is a set of jobs j1, j2, . . . , jN, each of which takes a one-time unit to complete. Each job ji earns di dollars if it is completed by the time limit ti, but no money if completed after the time limit.
a. Give an O(N2) greedy algorithm to solve the problem.
b. Modify your algorithm to obtain an O(N logN) time-bound. (Hint: The time-bound is due entirely to sort the jobs by money. The rest of the algorithm can be implemented, using the disjoint set data structure, in o(N logN).)

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?
