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?

Write a program that prints the day number of the year, given the date in the form month-day-year. for example, if the input is 1-1-2006, the day number is 1; if the input is 12-25-2006, the day number is 359. the program should check for a leap year. a year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, but not divisible by 100. for example, 1992 and 2008 are divisible by 4, but not by 100. a year that is divisible by 100 is a leap year if it is also divisible by 400. for example, 1600 and 2000 are divisible by 400. however, 1800 is not a leap year because 1800 is not divisible by 400.
