A computer with a 32-bit 3.5 gigahertz scalar non- pipelined CPU needs to invert the colors of a 150 KB bitmap image file located in the RAM. To do this, each bit of the image must be complemented (Os are converted to 1s and vice-versa). Assume every instruction undergoes the following stages and each stage uses one CPU clock cycle: • Fetch • Decode • Read from memory • Execute • Write to memory Instructions: For this assignment, you must calculate how much time the computer will need to invert the image with a single-core and a dual core CPU. Show and explain your calculations and assumptions in a short paper and answer the following questions: • Will there be any parallel slowdown? Why or why not? Length: 2-3 page explanatory paper
