A digital computer has a memory unit with 24 bits per word. The instruction set consists
of 150 different operations. All instructions have an operation code part (opcode) and an
address part (allowing for only one address). Each instruction is stored in one word of
memory. How many bits are left for the address part of the instruction? - ANSWER-16

A major advantage of direct mapped cache is its simplicity and ease of implementation.
The main disadvantage of direct mapped cache is: - ANSWER-its performance is
degraded if two or more blocks that map to the same location are used alternately.
A nonpipelined system takes 200ns to process a task. The same task can be processed
in a 5-segment pipeline with a clock cycle of 40ns. Determine the speedup ratio of the
pipeline for 200 tasks. What is the maximum speedup that could be achieved with the
pipeline unit over the nonpipelined unit? - ANSWER-5
A simpler and more elegant approach is memory-mapped I/O because I/O devices and
main memory share the ____________________. - ANSWER-same address space
A stack-organized computer uses _______ addressing. - ANSWER-Zero
Accumulator architectures store one operand on the stack and the other in the
accumulator. - ANSWER-False
Add the following unsigned binary number as shown.

Assembly Language - ANSWER-uses alphabetic (mnemonic) codes in place of binary
strings
Assume a system? 's memory has 128M bytes. Blocks are 64 bytes in length and the
cache
consists of 32K blocks. Show the format for a main memory address assuming a 2-way
set
associative cache mapping scheme and byte addressing. Be sure to include the fields
as well as their sizes. - ANSWER-Each address has 27 bits, and there are 7 in the tag
field, 14 in the set field, and 6 in the offset field.
