G2.a simple risc microprocessor has 5 pipeline stages. assume it is perfectly pipelined. how much speedup will it achieve compared to the non pipelined processor? for this question, you need to com- pute the execution time for a stage (cycle), when the execution of one instruction is partitioned into 5 stages. also given a perfect pipeline, every cycle there is a new instruction finishes execution.

You will be given two character arrays of the same size, one will contain a number of ships. ships will move around the character array based on which way they are facing and the route they are on. routes are given in the other array. the route consists of '-' and '|' for straight paths, '\' and '/' for curves, and '+' for intersections. there are ships on these routes. ships always face a direction, '^' for up, '> ' for right, 'v' for down, and '< ' for left. any time the ships hit a '\' or a '/' it will turn as you would expect a ship to turn (e.g. a '^' that moves into a '/' will turn right). at an intersection, ships will always continue straight through. all ships move at the same speed, ships take turns moving and all ships move during one 'tick'. the one in the most top left goes first, followed by those to its right, then the ones in the next row. it iterates along the rows and then down the columns. each ship moves one space on its turn moving along the route. your function needs to return the position of the first collision between two ships and the number of ticks before the crash occurred.

Jason needs to learn a new web tool. he went through his books to understand more about it. now he wants hands-on experience with using that tool. what would him? jason can use websites where workspace is provided to test the results of your code.
