  1. Do exercises 4.14, 4.15, and 4.16 (3rd ed.).
  2. Find two computers of your choice and let them be M1 and M2. Your task in this assignment is to design an experiment to determine how much faster M1 is over M2. Therefore, what is important is the ratio of the performance, not the execution time.

    Your comparison is based on two benchmarks. The first is an interger matrix multiplication program, written by yourself. You choose the matrix size. The second is a benchmark choosen from below:

    Your grade will be judged according to the completeness of your report. The report should include the followings:
    - Experimental setup
    - Your computer spec for experiment
    - Benchmarks you used, including a listing of of the matrix multipliation program
    - Procedures of your experiment
    - Performance data
    - Discussion and conclusion
