Answer:
We consider CPU execution time on an unloaded system.
» Basic measure of performance:
– CPU Time = X
– The clock in a digital system creates a sequence of hardware signals; hardware
events must occur at these predefined clock ticks . The clock cycle time or just clock
cycle, or even clock period is the time between two clock ticks.
– Clock cycle time is measured in nanoseconds (10-9sec) or microseconds (10-6sec)
– Clock rate = is measured in MegaHertz (MHz) (106 cycles/sec)
