New CPU whose instruction set includes the instruction set of its predecessor CPU is said to be ___________ with its predecessor.

New CPU whose instruction set includes the instruction set of its predecessor CPU is said to be ___________ with its predecessor. Correct Answer backward compatible

The CPU is called backward compatible since it contains the instruction set of its predecessor. Manufacturers tend to group their CPUs into families having similar instruction set.

A 5-stage pipelined processor has Instruction Fetch (IF), Instruction Decode (ID), Operand Fetch (OF), Perform Operation (PO) and Write Operand (WO) stages. The IF, ID, OF and WO stages take 1 clock cycle each for any instruction. The PO stage takes 1 clock cycle for ADD and SUB instructions, 3 clock cycles for MUL instruction, and 6 clock cycles for DIV instruction respectively. Operand forwarding is used in the pipeline. What is the number of clock cycles needed to execute the following sequence of instructions? Instruction Meaning of instruction I0 : MUL R2, R0, R1 R2← R0 * R1 I1 : DIV R5, R3, R4 R5 ← R3 / R4 I2 : ADD R2, R5, R2 R2 ← R5 + R2 I3 : SUB R5, R2, R6 R5 ← R2 – R6
You install and run a third-party 32-bit application named Application on your Windows 2000 Server computer. After several days, the application stops responding. You open Task Manager and find that the CPU usage is at 100 percent. The normal range of CPU usage on the server is from 20 percent to 30 percent You end the application. However, you see that the CPU on the server is still at 100 percent. Task Manager shows no other applications running. You then examine the Processes page in Task Manager and confirm that the Application.exe process is no longer running. You want to return the CPU usage to its normal range. What should you do?
