Question Paper

1.A bus-organized CPU has 16 registers with 32 bits in each, an ALU, and a destination decoder.

How many multiplexers are there in a bus, and what is the size of each multiplexer?

How many selection inputs are needed for MUX A and MUX B

How many inputs and outputs are there in the decoder?

How many inputs and outputs are there in the ALU for data, including input and output carries

Formulate a control word for the system assuming that the ALU has 35 operations.

2. What has to be done with the bus system for being able to transfer information from any register to any other register? Specifically, show the connections that must be included to provide a path from the outputs of register C to the input of register A.

3. Discuss the utility of RISC and CISC architecture by comparing their various features.

4. What is Virtual Memory? Discuss the protection of a segmented virtual memory in Pentium.

5. Show with timing diagrams, the instances of synchronous bus output to a slave from a bus master.

Draw a full adder and explain its logic circuit.

What are the various phases of instruction cycle Give the micro-operation of the fetch and decode phases. How are the first two register transfer statements implemented?

Design a flow chart showing the instruction cycle and interrupt cycle for a basic computer operation.

Tabulate various memory reference instructions. Also explain BUN and BSA in detail.

What is mapping? Name the various types of mapping. Discuss direct mapping in brief.

Write a short note on memory hierarchy.

Explain the concept of virtual memory. What are the advantages of virtual memory?
