    question on a problem

    I am working on an assignment and it is asking for IPC(instruction s per cycle) and I dont have a formula to figure it out can anyone help. I am given clock rate, instruction number, and time. Its more detailed then what I am asking but w/ a formula I can do the rest.

    Instructions per Cycle (IPC) is an innate property of the processor you're using. Have you tried to google the term yet?

    Are you being asked to compute the IPC entirely on paper; or are you being asked to measure the execution-time of some program and derive IPC from that?

    Are you familiar with assembly language programming for this processor?
