For the problems in this exercise, the breakdown of executed instructions is as follows:   add addi nor beq lw j-type(jr/jal) sw 20% 15% 15% 20% 10% 5% 15% (a) (1 points) In what overall fraction is the data memory used? [Ans1] (b) (1 points)  In what overall fraction is the instruction memory used? [Ans2] (c) (1 points) In what overall fraction is the program counter (PC) used? [Ans3] (d) (1 points) In what overall fraction is the ALU/adder used? [Ans4] (e) (1 points)  In what overall fraction is the sign extension unit used? [Ans5] Just provide the percentage as a whole number – donot need to add the percentage sign

I1: lw $t0, 0($t1) I2: lw $t2, 4($t1) I3: add $s2, $t2, $t3 I4: sub $s0, $t0, $t3  The MIPS architecture has a five-stage pipeline with a forwarding unit. [1 point] In the following instructions, point out the hazard(s), if any. Please state the instructions involved in the hazard(s) and identify the register involved in the hazard. [2 points] If there are any data hazards, can they be fixed by rearranging the instructions? [Hint: You need to switch only a pair, any unncessary instruction movement would not be graded]  

In an undergraduate college-level course, the TA grades student essays on a topic of their choosing. When grading, the TA goes through the student submissions in a way that is sorted alphabetically by the students’ last name. The TA finds they typically grade the first few submissions higher compared to the ones at the end. Which change best reduces the risk of bias introduced by the sorting procedure?

A requirements-management application lets anyone use it without signing up or inputting a credit card for up to 3 projects. Then it requires inputting a payment to unlock more projects and team features. What pricing model is this?

Determine if the graph is a function Show why or why not in your written work for full credit.

If f(x) is defined as Graph the function and indicate the domain and range in your written work for full credit. The intercept(s) is/are [intercepts]  (Type an ordered pair. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)

Use the Equation Editor to type the equation in standard form of the circle with center at (-2,1) and radius of 4.  

List the intercepts for x2 + y − 100 = 0 and test for symmetry. Intercepts: [intercepts]  (Type an ordered pair. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) Is the graph symmetric with respect to the x-axis? [x_axis]  (Y or N) Is the graph symmetric with respect to the y-axis? [y_axis]  (Y or N) Is the graph symmetric with respect to the origin? [origin]  (Y or N)
