COA Assignment 4 - BCS 302

This document contains 5 questions for an assignment on computer organization and architecture. Question 1 asks about memory requirements for a system using memory mapped I/O and to draw the memory address map. Question 2 asks to discuss 2D and 2.5D memory with a diagram. Question 3 asks about cache memory characteristics, address format, and number of blocks a cache can accommodate. Question 4 asks about the differences between direct and associative mapping in cache memory. Question 5 asks about virtual memory and how paging helps implement it, calculating page faults using LRU and FIFO policies.

Q Question Description CO BTL MM
1 A computer employs RAM chip of 256X8 and ROM chips of 1024X8. The 4 L4 5
computer system needs 2K bytes of RAM ,4K bytes of ROM and 4 interface units
, each with 4 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
10for interface registers.

a) How many RAM and ROM chips are needed?

b) Draw the memory address map for the system.

c) Give the address range in hexadecimal for RAM, ROM and interface.

2 Discuss 2D and 2.5D memory with suitable diagram. 4 L3 5

What is cache memory? Explain it with its basic characteristics. A digital computer
3 has a memory unit of 64K *16 and a cache memory of 1K words. The cache uses 4 L3 5
direct mapping with a block size of four words.
(a) How many bits are there in the tag, index, block and word fields of the address
format?
(b) How many bits are there in each word of cache, and how they are divided into
functions? Include a valid bit.
(c) How many blocks can the cache accommodate?

4 Describe the difference between Direct mapping and associative mapping procedure for 4 L2 5
organization of cache memory with example. Give merit and demerit of both mapping
procedure.
5 What do you mean by virtual memory? Discuss how paging helps in implementing 4 L3 5
virtual memory. Calculate the page fault for a given string with the help of LRU
and FIFO page replacement, size of frames=4 and string 1 2 3 4 2 1 5 6 2 1 2 3 7 6
