GATE | Gate IT 2007 | Question 36

The floating point unit of a processor using a design D takes 2t cycles compared to t cycles taken by the fixed point unit. There are two more design suggestions D1 and D2. D1 uses 30% more cycles for fixed point unit but 30% less cycles for floating point unit as compared to design D. D2 uses 40% less cycles for fixed point unit but 10% more cycles for floating point unit as compared to design D. For a given program which has 80% fixed point operations and 20% floating point operations, which of the following ordering reflects the relative performances of three designs?
(Di > Dj denotes that Di is faster than Dj)

(A)

D1 > D > D2

(B)

D2 > D > D1

(C)

D > D2 > D1

(D)

D > D1 > D2
