10. when you create a pivottable, you need to specify where to find the data for the pivottable. is it true

When you type the pwd command, you notice that your current location on the linux filesystem is the /usr/local directory. answer the following questions, assuming that your current directory is /usr/local for each question. a. which command could you use to change to the /usr directory using an absolute pathname? b. which command could you use to change to the /usr directory using a relative pathname? c. which command could you use to change to the /usr/local/share/info directory using an absolute pathname? d. which command could you use to change to the /usr/local/share/info directory using a relative pathname? e. which command could you use to change to the /etc directory using an absolute pathname? f. which command could you use to change to the /etc directory using a relative pathname?

When making changes to optimize part of a processor, it is often the case that speeding up one type of instruction comes at the cost of slowing down something else. for example, if we put in a complicated fast floating-point unit, that takes space, and something might have to be moved farther away from the middle to accommodate it, adding an extra cycle in delay to reach that unit. the basic amdahl's law equation does not take into account this trade-off. a. if the new fast floating-point unit speeds up floating-point operations by, on average, 2ă—, and floating-point operations take 20% of the original program's execution time, what is the overall speedup (ignoring the penalty to any other instructions)? b. now assume that speeding up the floating-point unit slowed down data cache accesses, resulting in a 1.5ă— slowdown (or 2/3 speedup). data cache accesses consume 10% of the execution time. what is the overall speedup now? c. after implementing the new floating-point operations, what percentage of execution time is spent on floating-point operations? what percentage is spent on data cache accesses?
