Tutorial-9
Topic: Basics of primary and secondary memories

1. How many address lines will be required in 32 bit computer to communicate with 2 GB RAM?

2. Find the total number data bytes that can be stored in a main memory which 16 address bits
and 8 data bits.

3. How many 2K X 8 ROM chips will be required to implement 16 KB X 8 memory system?

4. Consider a magnetic disk drive with 8 surfaces, 512 tracks per surface, and 64 sectors per track.
Sector size is 1 KB. The average seek time to position at required track is 8 ms, and the drive
rotates at 3600 rpm. Successive tracks in a cylinder can be read without head movement.
a. What is the disk capacity?
b. What is the average rotational delay?
c. How many tracks and cylinders are required for the storage of 5 MB file?
c. Estimate the time required to transfer a 5 MB file.
d. What is the data (burst) transfer rate?

5. Consider a hard disk with average seek time of 4 ms, rotational speed of 15000 rpm, 500
sectors per track and each sector of 512 bytes. Find the total time to read a file of 1.28 MB
stored in total of 2500 sectors.
