MIPS example
Two different compilers are being tested for a 100 MHz. machine with three different classes of instructions: Class A, Class B, and Class C, which require one, two, and three cycles (respectively). Both compilers are used to produce code for a large piece of software.The first compiler's code uses 5 million Class A instructions, 1 million Class B instructions, and 1 million Class C instructions.The second compiler's code uses 10 million Class A instructions, 1 million Class B instructions, and 1 million Class C instructions.
