Note: /. Answer ativ F/l Efull questions,
2. Answer should be brief and to the point.
Distinguish between :
0 Pipelining and super scalar operation
ii) CISC and RISC
iii) Multiprocessors and multicomputer. (9 Mark#) Explain clearly SPEC Rating and its significance. (03 Marks) Convert the following pairs of numbers to 5 bit signed 2's complement binarv numbers and add them. State whether an overflow occurs in each case.
i) -14 and I 1 ii) -10 and -13. (04 Marks)
Discuss the two ways in w hich bvte addresses are assigned across words.
(0-4 Marks)
Explain with a specific example how a stack frame is built and dismantled for a particular invocation of a subroutine. (08 Murks)
Which of the following possibilities for saving return address of a subroutine support subroutine nesting and which support subroutine recursion and whv?
i) in a processor register ii) in a memory location associated with call iii) on a Stack. (04 Marks)
Explain clearly the Bus Arbitration Methods. (08 Marks)
Draw a combined input ' output interface circuit and explain the different operations clearly. (10 Marks)
Consider a synchronous bus that transfers data in one clock cycle. Address transmitted by the processor appears on the bus after 4 nanoseconds, propagation delay on the bus varies from 1 to 5 nanoseconds, address decoding takes 6 nanoseconds. Addressed device takes 5 to 10 nanoseconds to place the data on the bus. Input buffer needs 3 nanoseconds setup time. Estimate the clock speed at which this bus can operate. (04 Marks)
Distinguish between the processor clock speed and bus clock speed and explain why the disparity occurs between the two. State the values of the above in a modem computing system. (06 Murks)
Discuss the main phases involved in the operation of SCSI bus in detail.
(10 Murks)
Explain the operation of a split bus with a diagram. (05 Marks)
With a diagram explain USB packet format clearly. (05 Murks)

a. Draw a block diagram lor 8m X 32 memory system using 512 k X 8 memory chips and explain its operation, (08 Murks)
t>. Discuss direct mapped, associative mapped and set associative mapped CACHE memory system with suitable diagrams (0# Marks)
c. Deline Hit Rate and Miss Penalty. (04 Marks)
a. Show the organization of a typical associative mapped Tl.B and explain how address truncation takes place. <10 Marks)
b Explain the organization and how data is accessed from a disk. State (he typical values lor recording surfaces, tracks, sectors, bytes / sectors, access time in a disk (10 Marks)
a. Discuss the Booths Multiplication Algorithm with an example. (10 Marks)
b. With a clear diagram explain the floating point addition - subtraction unit.
(10 Marks)
a. With a diagram which shows the separation Decoding and Encoding functions. Explain hard wired control (10 Marks)
