Computer A has an overall CPI of 1.3 and can be run at a clock rate of 600 MHz. Computer B has a CPI of 2.5 and can be run at a clock rate of 750 MHz. We have a particular program we wish to run. When compiled for computer A, this program has exactly 100,000 instructions. How many instructions would the program need to have when compiled for Computer B, in order for the two computers to have exactly the same execution time for this program

In this puzzle you have a list of n pitchers, with known capacities, c1, c2, ... cn, of holding water in gallons. You have a faucet that can be used as often and as much as the player needs. The goal is to measure exactly g gallons of water, using nothing other than these pitchers. Suppose the current amounts of water that these pitchers hold is w1, w2, ... wn,. These numbers are assumed to be 0 initially. The puzzle is solved as soon as wi = g for any i. A player can perform the following operations: Fill pitcher i (from the faucet). The precondition of this operation is: ci > wi 0. The effect is: wi = ci. Empty pitcher i. The precondition of this operation is: ci wi > 0. The effect is: wi = 0. Pour pitcher i to pitcher j. The precondition of this operation is: (ci wi > 0) and (cj > wj 0). In words, pitcher i must have some water to pour, and pitcher j must have some unused capacity to receive it. The (partial) effect is: (wi = 0) or (wj = cj) or both. In words, the pour operation must continue until pitcher i becomes empty (and its content is added to pitcher j's content), or pitcher j becomes full (and pitcher i retains the remainder), whichever occurs first. They may occur simultaneously. A Sample Run Select the puzzle to solve: 1. Pitchers 2. Eight puzzle Your selection: 1 Enter the number of pitchers: 3 Enter the capacities of the 3 pitchers (gallons): 2, 5, 10 Enter the goal (gallons): 1 Current configuration: [0, 0, 0] Please select your next move from the following choices: 1. Fill pitcher 1 2. Fill pitcher 2 3. Fill pitcher 3 Your selection: 2 Current configuration: [0, 5, 0] Please select your next move from the following choices: 1. Fill pitcher 1 2. Fill pitcher 3 3. Empty pitcher 2 4. Pour pitcher 2 to 1 5. Pour pitcher 2 to 3 Your selection: 4 Current configuration: [2, 3, 0] Please select your next move from the following choices: 1. Fill pitcher 2 2. Fill pitcher 3 3. Empty pitcher 1 4. Empty pitcher 2 5. Pour pitcher 1 to 2 6. Pour pitcher 1 to 3 7. Pour pitcher 2 to 3 Your selection: 3 Current configuration: [0, 3, 0] Please select your next move from the following choices: 1. Fill pitcher 1 2. Fill pitcher 2 3. Fill pitcher 3 4. Empty pitcher 2 5. Pour pitcher 2 to 1 6. Pour pitcher 2 to 3 Your selection: 5 Current configuration: [2, 1, 0] Great! You have reached the goal in 4 moves. Bye.

Write a functionvector merge(vector a, vector b)that merges two vectors, alternating elements from both vectors. If one vector isshorter than the other, then alternate as long as you can and then append the remaining elements from the longer vector. For example, if a is 1 4 9 16and b is9 7 4 9 11then merge returns the vector1 9 4 7 9 4 16 9 1118. Write a predicate function bool same_elements(vector a, vector b)that checks whether two vectors have the same elements in some order, with the same multiplicities. For example, 1 4 9 16 9 7 4 9 11 and 11 1 4 9 16 9 7 4 9 would be considered identical, but1 4 9 16 9 7 4 9 11 and 11 11 7 9 16 4 1 would not. You will probably need one or more helper functions.19.

Assume the class Student implements the Speaker interface from the textbook. Recall that this interface includes two abstract methods, speak( ) and announce(String str). A Student contains one instance data, String class Rank. Write the Student class so that it implements Speaker as follows. The speak method will output "I am a newbie here" if the Student is a "Freshman", "I like my school" if the Student is either a "Sophomore" or a "Junior", or "I can not wait to graduate" if the student is a "Senior". The announce method will output "I am a Student, here is what I have to say" followed by the String parameter on a separate line. Finally, the class Rank is initialized in the constructor. Only implement the constructor and the methods to implement the Speaker interface.
