Valid and unimpeachable measurement of performance of any computer is

  • A.Clock rate
  • B.
    Instruction set
  • C.Execution time
  • D.Delay time

Answer: C

Correct answer: Execution time

Execution time is the only measure that cannot be gamed: it counts the whole job on the actual machine. A higher clock rate may be spent on more cycles per instruction, and an instruction set says nothing about how fast the instructions run, so neither is a reliable measure of performance on its own.
