A machine is run on many applications and the instruction mix is collected. Loads are 10%, Integer add/sub 15%, FP add/sub 50%, FP multiply divide 5% and others 5% and branches 15%. The clock cycles consumed by these instructions are: Loads 2, Integer add/sub 1, FP add/sub 5, FP multiply divide20, others 1. Find which component of the architecture required enhancement first. After incorporating the enhancement which makes clock cycles requirements as 2. Find the overall Speedup?
