CS-64 June 09 PDF

The document is a past exam for an Introduction to Computer Organization course. It contains 6 questions testing various topics: 1) Perform 8-bit arithmetic operations using 2's complement notation. Also write a program to evaluate an expression using 2 and 3 address machine instructions. 2) Explain how a stack can be used for subroutine calls and parameter passing. Draw a floating point subtraction pipeline and explain two RAID levels. 3) Design a combinational circuit for odd parity and draw a DMA controller block diagram explaining CPU initialization of transfers. 4) Write a 8086 assembly program to display a string if the first character is uppercase and compare I/O schemes. Draw and explain a 4-
