In this problem, we will compare the performance of a vector processor with a hybrid system that contains a scalar processor and a gpu-based coprocessor. in the hybrid system, the host processor has superior scalar performance to the gpu, so in this case all scalar code is executed on the host processor while all vector code is executed on the gpu. we will refer to the first system as the vector computer and the second system as the hybrid computer. assume that your target application contains a vector kernel with an arithmetic intensity of 0.5 flops per dram byte accessed; however, the application also has a scalar component which that must be performed before and after the kernel in order to prepare the input vectors and output vectors, respectively. for a sample dataset, the scalar portion of the code requires 400 ms of execution time on both the vector processor and the host processor in the hybrid system. the kernel reads input vectors consisting of 200 mb of data and has output data consisting of 100 mb of data. the vector processor has a peak memory bandwidth o
