Part A: Processor Performance (9 Points)Recall the iron law of processor performance: Time / Program = Instructions / Program x Cycles / Instruction x Time / Cycle Cycles / Instruction, also known as CPI, is (total number of cycles / total instructions). Mark whether the following modifications cause each of the categories to increase, decrease, or no effect. Instructions / Program Cycles / Instruction Time / Cycle Making the pipeline superscalar Adding a Global Pattern to the Branch Predictor Using lower nanometer hardware fabrication technology
