1. Define Boolean Algebra It is an algebra that deals with binary variables and logic operations. 2. Differentiate Combinational Circuits and Sequential Circuits Combinational circuits It is a connected arrangement of logic gates with a set of inputs and outputs. The binary values of the outputs are a function of the binary combination of the [...]

1. Define Computer Organization It is concerned with the way the hardware components operate and the way they are connected together to form the computer system. The various components are assumed to be in place and the task is to investigate the organizational structure to verify that the computer parts operate as intended 2. Define [...]

1. Explain very briefly about ESDI Hard Drive ESDI stands for enhanced small device interface was developed by a consortium of several manufacturers. ESDI converts the data into serial bit streams and uses the RLL encoding scheme to pack more bits per sector. ESDI drives store a defect map containing the locations of bad and [...]

51. Defien the term RELIABILITY and AVAILABLITY. RELIABILITY “Means feature that help to avoid and detect such faults. A realible system does not silently continue and delivery result that include interrected and corrupted data, instead it corrects the corruption when possible or else stops AVAILABLITY: “Means features that follow the systerm to stay operational even [...]

41. Write short notes on instruction pipelining? Ø It is a technique which a sequential process into sub operations. Which each sub operation can be performed in a dedicated proceeding segments that are executed concurrently with all other segment 42. State different types of hazards that can occur in pipeline. The types of hazards that [...]

31. Compare horizontal and vertical organization .Give their advantages and disadvantages? Comparison of Horizontal and Vertical organization:- Horizontal Vertical v Long formats. v Ability to express a high degree of parallelism. v Little encoding of control information. v Useful when higher operating speed is desired. Short formats Limited ability to express parallel micro operations. Considerable [...]

21. List out rules for Booth recoded multiplier? 1. Start from LSB check each bit one by one. 2. Change the first one as -1. 3. Skip all succeeding ones (record them as zero’s) until you see a zero, Change this zero as one. 4. Continue to look for next one without disturbing zeros, proceed [...]

11. . what are Condition Codes (CC)? Explain the use of them. Condition Codes are the list of possible conditions that can be tested during conditional instructions.CC is used to test the condition (). Based on this result, Jump instructions move to specified loop.CC flags represent the value of processor that keeps the information about [...]

1. Define processor clock and clock rate Processor clock: Processor circuits are controlled by a timing signal called processor clock,the clock defines regular time interval called clock cycle. Clock Rate: Clock rate,R=1/p cycles/sec(hz) Where p is length of one clock cycle 2. Explain the relation of throughput with execution and response time Throughput: The total [...]
