The compiler for high level language that runs on one machine and produces code for other machine is called-

1. ACross compiler
2. BMultipass compiler
3. COptimizing Compiler
4. DMore than one of the above (E) None of the above Directions (91-95) Read the following passage and answer the given questions. Consider the following program fragment that deals with a table T with 17 rows and 1024 columns, computing an average for each column and printing it to screen ( i is row index and j is column index): for j= [ 0...1023] { temp =0; for i= [0...16] temp = temp + T[i][j]; print (temp/17.0); } T [i] [i] and temp are 32 bit floating point values and memory is word addressable. The temporary variable temp is kept in a processor register so access to temp does not involve a memory reference. The main memory is page and holds 16 pages of size 1024 words, the page replacement policy is "least recently used ". If T is stored in the virtual address space in row major format.
