CASE STUDY OBJECTIVES In this case study, you will evaluate the needs of a small agency, named Glic Insurance Agency, and determine how it can more utilise its computer systems and IT infrastructure more effectively. As part of this coursework, you will have the opportunity: - To develop two methods for configuring computer systems, and provide networked computing resources for a small insurance agency - To evaluate strengths and weaknesses of each of the configuration methods - To consider management and administrative issues relating to sharing computer resources - To recommend a computing strategy that supports the future growth of the agency THE AGENCY The Glic Insurance Agency is an insurance brokerage company representing several different insurance companies. The agency is located in a small town with a population of approximately 60,000. The town also services the needs of a rural population of approximately 25,000. For 25 years, Glic was owned and managed by Jack Jones. Glic o...

Introduction The project consists of 3 parts and a bonus assignment. You are required to do coding and synthesis, and to demonstrate each part of the project. Write a project report to briefly describe the working of the design of each part. Report should also include the timing report and the waveform generated by simulating the testbench of each part of the project. For Part-3 and bonus assignment you will be required to find the minimum execution time and the reduction CPI which you achieve for the given program. Project Part-1 Modify the 4-stage pipelined processor of Lab-3 to include BEQ, LW, and SW instructions and convert that to a 5-stage pipelined processor. (6 marks) Project Part-2 Modify the processor designed in Part-1 of the project to include jump register (jr), jump (J), and jump & link (jal) instructions. (5 marks) Project Part-3 Each group of students will be given a program which gets slowed due to pipeline stalls. You are required to modify the program to remove ...

Assignment-1 Part (a) Section (i) Write the MIPS-like assembly code for the following program segment to run on the 5-stage pipelined processor which you have developed. for (i=6; i<=65; i=i+1) { a[i] = b[i] + a[i-6]; } Section (ii) Convert that assembly code to machine language format, and execute them on the 5-stage pipelined processor which you have developed. Section (iii)  Find the number of clock cycles and execution time to execute those machine instructions. Part (b)  Section (i) Perform maximal loop unrolling as well as instruction reordering of the assembly code segment obtained for part (a). Convert that assembly code segment to machine language format, and run on the 5-stage pipelined processor which you have developed. Section (ii) Find the number of clock cycles and execution time to run it. Part (c) Compare the execution times found for part (a) and part (b) and explain the effect of loop-carried dependency.
