A program runs alone on a cpu. The cpu clock rate is 3e9 cycles per second, i.e., 3 ghz.
It takes the cpu 15e9 clock cycles to complete the program. The cpu clock cycle time is
500e-12 second, i.e., 500 picoseconds.
How many seconds is the cpu performance for the task?
A) 1.5
B) 7.5
C) 15
D) 75 - correct answer b
