Question

D Question 2 6 pts The timing diagram below illustrates a system in which operations occur as three consecutive clock cycles. Actions taking place in clock cycle 1 are scalable; that is, if the clock cycle time changes, the actions can be sped up or slowed down correspondingly. In cycle 2, the action process 1 requires 25 ns and in clock cycle 3 the action process 2 requires 32 ns. If the clock cycle is less than the time required for process 1 or process 2, then one or more wait cycles have to be inserted for the process to complete What is the time to complete the operation if the clock cycle time is 35 ns? Cycle 1 Cycle 2 Cycle 3 Clock 25 ns 32 ns Cycle and process times e 105 ns # 140ns 0 175 210

Explanation / Answer

In case of clock time of 30 ns, time required will be 30 (scalable) + 30 (for process 1) + 30 + 30(as process 2 can't be completed in one cycle). Therefore, it will take 120 ns.
