`microprocessor, which is capable of over 400 MIPS.
`expected that the MIPS rating will give way to BIPS, that is, billions ofinstruc-
`tions per second
`The performanceofan electronic systemis mainly determined by the number
`
`of instructions executed in cach cycle
`and the clock frequency (see Fig. 1.4), As
`shown in Figure 1.4, the numberofinstructions executed per cycle depends on the
`system design, whereas the clock frequency depends on the IC and electronic
`packaging technologies.
`It should be further notedthat, while the performanceis
`a fundamental parameter, it is affected by the architecture andinstruction set,
`Thus a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) system cannot be compared
`easily with a complex instruction set computer (CISC) system, Accordingly,
`performance compansons are only valid within a given system design,
`The performance ofan electronic system can be improved in three ways: by
`increasing the clock frequency. by increasing the nuntber ofinstructions executed
`in one clock cycle, and by increasing the efliciency of the operations that are
