Total marks: 30


Question 1:


A digital computer has a memory unit with 24 bits per word. The instruction set consists of 199 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.[8 marks]



  1. How many bits are needed for the opcode?

  2. How many bits are left for the address part of the instruction?

  3. What is the maximum allowable size for memory?

  4. What is the largest signed binary number that can be accommodated in one word of memory?

Question 2:

Suppose you have the instruction “Add 900”. Given the memory as follows, the contents of AC and the base register are 200 and 100 respectively.[6 marks]



Memory address value

800 900

900 1000

1000 500

1100 600

1200 800

1300 250

What would be loaded into the AC, if the addressing mode for the operand is:

  1. Immediate

  2. Direct

  3. Indirect

  4. Indexed






Question 3:

Write code to implement the expression: F = (A-B)*(C*D+E) on 0-address, 1-address and 2-address machines. In accordance with programming language practice, computing the expression should not change the values of its operands.[8 marks]





Question 4:


In a computer instruction format, the instruction length is 10 bits and the size of an address field is 3 bits. The system architect has already designed FIFTEEN 2-address instructions and SEVEN 1-address instructions. How many 0-address instruction still possible to accommodate for the instruction set architecture? [8 marks]






Rationale


back to top

This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s:



  • be able to investigate the internal operation of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and describe how it is used to execute instructions.

  • be able to investigate and describe in detail the essential elements of computer organisation including internal bus, memory, Input/Output ( I/O) organisations and interfacing standards and discuss how these elements function.

This assessment task covers topics on CPU operation and Instruction Set Architecture, and has been designed to ensure that you are engaging with the subject content on a regular basis.

Question 1
According to the given information, the size of each memory word is, 24 bits. The instruction set consists of 199 different instructions for each operations. Each instruction has two parts, opcode and address part. The address part of each instruction contains one address only. And each instruction fits into 1 memory word.
1. As each instruction fits into 1 memory word and each instruction has opcode and address part. So, it will require 8 bits to represent each instruction as, . So, minimum 8 bits are needed to represent 199 instructions. And, 8 bits are needed for the opcode part.
2. Other than the opcode part, there is the address part. So, the address part has, (24 – 8) bits = 16 bits for each instruction.
3. Each memory location is addressable by an address and each address is 16 bits long. Hence, it can identify, locations. And each memory word is 24 bits long. So, the maximum allowable size is, = bits = 192 KB
4. Each memory word is 24 bits long. Hence, the largest signed binary number will have 23 numbers of 1’s and a sign bit. So, it will be +
