Date of Submission: In Respective LAB

1. What are the various types of memory in computer system? Explain the
memory hierarchy in a computer system with respect to storage, speed and
cost?
2. Draw the structure of typical RAM chip (128*8) and ROM chip(512*8).
3. How many 128*8 RAM chips are needed to provide a memory capacity of
2048 bytes?
How many lines of the address bus must be used to access 2048 bytes of
memory? How many of these lines will be common to all chips?
How many lines must be decoded for chip select? Specify the size of the
decoders.
4. A computer employs RAM chips of 256*8 and ROM chips of 1024*8.The
computer system needs 2K bytes of RAM,4K bytes of ROM and four
interface units, each with four registers. A memory-mapped I/O
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.
How many RAM and ROM chips are needed?
Draw a memory-address map for the system.
Give the address range in hexadecimal for RAM, ROM and interface.
5. What is associative memory (Content Addressable Memory)? Explain the
working of Associative Memory with Block Diagram.
6. What do you mean by locality of reference? How cache memory used that
concept to achieve faster speed in program execution.
7. What are the three types of mapping procedures in organization of cache
memory?
8. Consider a system with main memory of size 32K*12. The cache memory of
size 512*12.The CPU communicates with both memories. An associative
mapping is implemented in organization of cache. What will be size of
Argument register in Associative mapping? How CPU will use this
associative mapping to find out required word from memory?
9. Consider a system with main memory of size 32K*12. The cache memory of
size 512*12.The CPU communicates with both memories. Direct mapping is
implemented in organization of cache. What will be size of Tag and Index?
Explain the addressing relationships between main and cache memories for
given memory organization.
10. Distinguish between the following: Direct Mapping and Set-Associative
Mapping.
11. In Virtual Memory, An address space is specified by 24 bits and the
corresponding memory space by 16 bits. How many words are there in
address space? How many words are there in the memory space? If a page
consists of 2K words, how many pages and blocks are there in the system?
12. The logical address space in a computer system consists of 128 segments.
Each segment can have up to 32 pages of 4K words in each. Physical
memory consists of 4K blocks of 4K words in each. Formulate the logical
and physical address formats. Give the binary number of the logical address
for segment 36 and word number 2000 in page 15.
