Ricardo twists his ankle at work but does not immediately realize that he is injured because his ankle is not sore or swollen, and therefore he does not report the injury to his employer. the next morning, ricardo’s ankle is sore and swollen, and he realizes he has the kind of injury he is required to report to his employer. he reports the injury to the employer that day. his employer disciplines ricardo for failing to report his injury "immediately" as required by the employer’s injury reporting rules. did the employer misuse a disciplinary program against ricardo for reporting an injury?

When making changes to optimize part of a processor, it is often the case that speeding up one type of instruction comes at the cost of slowing down something else. for example, if we put in a complicated fast floating-point unit, that takes space, and something might have to be moved farther away from the middle to accommodate it, adding an extra cycle in delay to reach that unit. the basic amdahl's law equation does not take into account this trade-off. a. if the new fast floating-point unit speeds up floating-point operations by, on average, 2ă—, and floating-point operations take 20% of the original program's execution time, what is the overall speedup (ignoring the penalty to any other instructions)? b. now assume that speeding up the floating-point unit slowed down data cache accesses, resulting in a 1.5ă— slowdown (or 2/3 speedup). data cache accesses consume 10% of the execution time. what is the overall speedup now? c. after implementing the new floating-point operations, what percentage of execution time is spent on floating-point operations? what percentage is spent on data cache accesses?

Which of the following best describe how the depth-limited search works. a normal depth-first search is performed but the number of ply/depths is limited. a normal breadth-first search is performed but the number of ply/depths is limited. a normal breadth-first search is performed but values above a specific value will be ignored. a normal depth-first search is performed but values above a specific value will be ignored.
