(b) Consider a computer with four floating-point pipeline processors. Suppose that each processor
uses a cycle time of 40 ns. How long will it take to perform 400 floating - point operations? Is
there a difference if the same 400 operations is carried out using a single pipeline processor with
a cycle time of 10 ns? [7M]
UNIT – IV
7. (a) Write a short note on the following (i) Write back (ii) Locality of Reference (iii) Sequential access
(iv) Random access [7M]
(b) A computer employs RAM chips of 256 x 8 and ROM chips of 1024 x 8. The computer system
needs 2K bytes of RAM, 4K bytes of ROM, and four interface units, each with four registers.
A memorymapped 1/0 configuration is used. The two highest-order bits of the address bus are
assigned 00 for RAM, 01 for ROM, and 10 for interface registers. a) How many RAM and ROM
chips are needed? b) Draw a memory-address map for the system. c) Give the address range in
hexadecimal for RAM, ROM, and interface [7M]
UNIT – V
