Processor Performance Analysis: Frame Buffer, Clock Rates, and Compilers

Frame Buffer and Network Transmission

Consider a color display using 8 bits for each of the primary colors (R, G, B) per pixel and a frame size of 1280×1024.

  1. Minimum Frame Buffer Size: The frame size is 1280 * 1024 = 1,310,720 pixels. With 3 bytes per pixel (one for each color), the minimum frame buffer size is 1,310,720 * 3 = 3,932,160 bytes.
  2. Transmission Time: The transmission time over a 100 Mbit/s network is (3,932,160 * 8 bits) / (100 * 106 bits/second) = 0.3145728 seconds, or 315 ms.
