Questions Lesson 2

1. What is an Instruction Cycle and what it consists of.


2. Describe the process of Instruction Fetch by giving the actions of the CPU and Memory
module and their interaction.
3. What is the total addressable memory with addresses coded on 12 bits in a) bits, b) bytes.
4. How many instructions can be coded in 16-bits memory word if the address of the operand
takes 12 bits.
5. Using instructions in the format operation_code operand_adress describe the evaluation of
the following algebraic instruction c := a + b x c where a, b and c are the correspondent
addresses of the values to be involved in the calculation. Write the instructions with their
mnemonics and with supposed codes.
6. The same as 5.) for the expressions a := b – c, a := a x c – b.
7. What is the total capacity of a memory with addresses coded on 8 bits and memory words of
16 bits? How many instructions can we define in this system?
8. What is the total capacity of a memory with addresses coded on 8 bits and memory words of
32 bits? How many instructions can we define in this system?
9. What is the total capacity of a memory with addresses coded on 16 bits and memory words
of 32 bits? How many instructions can we define in this system?
10. What would be the length of the address in a system with total capacity of 16 Kbytes and
memory words of 2 bytes.
11. What would be the length of the address in a system with total capacity of 1 Mbyte and
memory words of 2 bytes.
12. What would be the length of the address in a system with total capacity of 1 Mbyte and
memory words of 4 bytes.
