Answer
$50,000,000$ instructions
Work Step by Step
Given:
- Time slice duration = 10 milliseconds
- Average instructions executed per nanosecond = 5
First, let's convert the time slice duration from milliseconds to nanoseconds:
1 millisecond = 1,000,000 nanoseconds
So, 10 milliseconds = 10,000,000 nanoseconds.
Now, we multiply the time slice duration by the average instructions executed per nanosecond:
10,000,000 nanoseconds × 5 instructions/nanosecond = 50,000,000 instructions
Therefore, in a single time slice of 10 milliseconds, the system could execute 50,000,000 instructions.
