What is a bit of data that is changed when you input a command?

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?

Assume that two parallel arrays have been declared and initialized: healthoption an array of type char that contains letter codes for different healthcare options and annual cost an array of type int. the i-th element of annual cost indicates the annual cost of the i-th element of healthoption. in addition, there is an char variable, best2.write the code necessary to assign to best2 the health option with the lower annual cost, considering only the first two healthcare options. thus, if the values of healthoption are 'b', 'q', 'w', 'z' and the values of annualcost are 8430, 9400, 7050, 6400 your code would assign 'b' to best2 because 8430 is less than 9400 and is associated with 'b' in the parallel array. (we ignore 'w' and 'z' because we are considering only the first two options.)
