(a) The CPU computations and I/O operations cannot be overlapped in a multipro- grammed computer. (b) Synchronization of all PEs in an SIMD computer is done by hardware rather than by software as is often done in most MIMD computers. (c) As far as programmability is concerned, shared-memory multiprocessors offer sim- pler interprocessor communication support than that offered by a message-passing multicomputer.

1. Draw the complete block diagram for an 8086 Microprocessor system with two PPIs, where the address (PA/PPI1)=20h and the address (PA/PPI2)=21h.
Microprocessors and the systems they are incorporated into now prioritize addressing constraints such as power supply and heat dissipation.Exist any hypotheses on the origin of this phenomenon?
Under the von Neumann architecture, a program and its data are both stored in memory. Itis therefore possible for a program, thinking a memory location holds a piece of data when it actually holds a program instruction, to accidentally (or on purpose) modify itself. Whatimplications does this present to you as a programmer?
How can a scalable multiprocessor with shared memory avoid a coherence problem? Where are the negatives, if any?
Discuss the advantages and potential drawbacks of dynamic multithreading in modern CPU architectures.
Because microprocessor CPUS do not understand mnemonics as they are, they have to be converted to binary machine code explain?
One of the best things about a multiprocessor machine is how flexible it is. Even though this feature is helpful, it makes the design of the system more complicated.
Describe the principles of RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) and CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing) architectures in microprocessors. What are the trade-offs between these two approaches in microchip design?
Discuss the principles of pipelining and superscalar execution in modern CPU design and their impact on instruction-level parallelism.
In the figure below, the typical organization of a modern von Neumann processor is illustrated. Note that the CPU, memory subsystem, and I/O subsystem are connected by address, data, and control buses. The fact that these are parallel buses is denoted by the slash through cach line that significs a bus.
