Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be "0.625".
Explanation:
Amount of clock cycles required for subsidiary conditional guidance
= 1+3
= 4
Probability of component instruction with condition
= 0.2
Amount of clock cycles required for further guidance
= 1
Probability of a particular command
= 0.8
Normal duration of the clock
= 0.2×4+1×0.8
= 0.8+0.8
= 1.6 clocks
Median number of instructions per clock
= 1/1.6
= 0.625
Slow down
= 0.625/1
= 0.625
