Laxmi was not confident that she could learn to program a computer. when she found out that two girls with similar gpa’s in her class were expert programmers, her confidence improved dramatically. the influence on her self-efficacy that is most relevant to her change in confidence is?

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?

The computers in the sales department did not have enough data storage capacity to contain all the information the department needed to store, and it was taking a long time for team members to access the data they needed. to fix the problem, the technician installed new, larger hard drives on all the computers.
