Case Study
Assume a computer system has a main memory of 256 Bytes. The following is a memory byte-access trace history of
a program run on this system. For example, as it is shown, the program first accesses memory address 0000 0000, and
then it accesses memory address 0000 0001 and so on. Note the memory addresses are represented in binary:
00000000, 00000001, 00000010, 00000011, 00001000, 00010000, 00010001, 00000100, 00000101, 00000110,
00000111, 00001001, 00001010, 00001011, 00001100, 00001000, 00001001, 00001010, 00011100, 00011101.
Q3. Assume the system has a 16-Byte direct mapped unified L1 cache with a block size of 2 Bytes. The following
table shows how the cache looks like after the first access to the memory is finished. Please show; in the provided
table, how it looks like after the 20th access is finished. You could ignore the "Data" Column. (Add or remove
Rows/Columns in the provided table for your answer, as you see fit).
Cache contents after the 1st access:

Suppose a program segment consists of a purely sequential part which takes 100 cycles to execute, and an iterated loop which takes 400 cycles per iteration. Assume that the loop is dependent on the sequential part, i.e., both parts cannot run in parallel. Also assume that the loop iterations are independent, and cannot be further parallelized. If the loop is to be executed 100 times, what is the maximum speedup possible using an infinite number of processors (as many processors as you could possibly need) compared to a single processor?
1. Illustrate the program execution for the following program.
The hypothetical machine has four (4) opcodes:
0110 = LOAD
0101 = STORE
1011 = AND
0011 = ADD
i)
LOAD AC from memory location CM7. The content of this location is 510.
ii) Logically, AND the content of memory location CM8. The content of this location is
510.
iii) ADD the content of memory location CM9. The content of this location is 616.
iv) STORE the content of AC to device 7. The address of device 7 is DE7.
Assume that a value of A00 is the starting value contained in PC.

- In general terms, CPUs are able to manipulate one or two pieces of data at a time. For instance, most CPUs have an instruction that essentially says "add A to B and put the result in C". The data for A, B and C could be—in theory at least—encoded directly into the instruction. Vector processors take this concept one step further. Instead of pipelining just the instructions, they also pipeline the data itself. a) How will you describe a vector processor? b) Instruction pipelining is an efficient way of decoding instructions. How does instruction pipelining reduce the amount of computing time as compared with traditional CPUs?arrow_forwardConsider the following image that represents part of the memory of a 16-bit address space that has an addressability of 2 bytes (like LC-3): A memory location can store an address. We call that memory location's contents a "pointer" since it's an address that "points" to another memory location. G.) Interpret the contents at address 0x0C0B as a pointer. (Enter hex like the following example: 0x2A3F) H.) What are the contents of the memory location that the pointer above is pointing to? (Enter hex like the following example: 0x2A3F) Another reference : LC-3 Opcodes in Hex ADD 0x1 JMP 0xC LDR 0x6arrow_forward. The classical Tower of Hanoi (ToH) puzzle is well-known. It consists of three pegs and disks of sizes 1,2, . . . , n arranged on one of the pegs as a “tower”, in decreasing order of size, from bottom to top. The goal of the puzzle is to transfer all disks to another peg, placed in the same order. At each step, a single disk is moved from (the top of) one peg to (the top of) another, subject to the “divine” rule: to never have a larger disk above a smaller one.arrow_forward
- Consider a computer that has a byte-addressable memory organized in 32-bit words according to the big-endian scheme. A program reads ASCII characters entered at a keyboard and stores them in successive byte locations, starting at address 500. Show the contents of the two memory words at addresses 504 and 508 after the characters “Computer#ece@OSU" have been entered. Give the contents for the two words in hexadecimal. Repeat this problem for the little-endian scheme. ´sMarrow_forwardQuestion 2 You are running a program that performs a data summation operation with a supercomputer with 32768 computing nodes (i.e., processing unit: CPU). Assume that the data has 100,000 numbers, measure (1) total running time, (2) speedup, and (3) efficiency. You can calculate the approximated time (not exact time). Please note that there are several assumptions as Computation - Each PE can add two numbers stored in its local memory in one second. Communication - A PE can send data from its local memory to the local memory of any other PE in three seconds (independent of the size of the data). Each PE can send data elements from one PE to another. Input and output - At the beginning of the program, the whole input array A is stored in PE #0. In the end, the result should be gathered in PE #0. Synchronization - All PEs operate in a lock-step manner; i.e., they can either compute, communicate, or be idle. Use the editor to format your answerarrow_forwardThe use of transistors in the construction of RAM and ROM leads me to believe that there is no need for cache memory.The term "temporary storage" may also be thought of as "random access memory" (RAM) that is momentarily vacant. Imagine a machine that only had one kind of memory—is it even possible?arrow_forward
- Suppose that each of the 4 processors in a shared memory multi-processor system is rated at 400 MIPS. A program contains a purely sequential part that accounts for 22% of the program’s execution time on a single processor. The remaining code can be partitioned into three independent parts (A, B, and C). Running on a single processor, part A accounts for 30% of the program’s execution time, part B accounts for 18%, and part C accounts for 30%. What is the apparent MIPS rating for the program if it is run on the 4-processor system and the sequential part must be completed before any of the remaining independent parts (A, B or C) can run in parallel?arrow_forwardConsider a memory implemented for 8086 microprocessor Draw the memory block diagram. Determine the values for A0 , /BHE ,address lines(A1..A19) and data lines(D0.. D15) in order to access: A byte at odd address [01FF3H] A byte at even address [01FFCH] A word at even address [01FFEH] A word at odd address [01ABFH]arrow_forwardA computer with a 32-bit word uses an instruction format that includes direct and indirect addressing of 8 megabytes and one of 16 registers. The highest order bits are used for the opcode, followed by the bits indicating the register, followed by the indirect/direct bit, followed by the bits indicating the memory address. Draw the instruction word's format, showing how many bits are used for all four fields (Make sure to show here how many bits for each and the order in which they appear.

- Design a memory map to work with 8085 Microprocessor to have 8K byte ROM and 2K byte RAM. ROM should start from memory location 0000H and RAM immediately follows it. Use exhaustive decoding scheme?arrow_forwardA systolic array, which is the kind of array that a MISD machine is an example of, is one type of array. A "wavefront" is another name for a networked pipeline of data processing units, which is exactly what a systolic array is. Since execution begins whenever fresh data is received, none of these components need to make use of a program counter in order to function properly. Every component in a timed systolic array performs computing in "lock-step," which means that each component finishes alternating phases of computation and communication within the span of a single clock cycle.arrow_forwardPlease solve this problem in emu8086 microprocessor in Assembly Language. Please solve properly, will upvote after getting proper solve Read 10 inputs (range 0-9) from the user and store them in an array. Find the position (or index) of the maximum and minimum values in the array, and swap them (move the biggest element to the position of the smallest, and move the smallest element to the position of the biggest), and print that again. If there are multiple maximum or minimum numbers, then choose the first occurrence, values. Your program should be able to handle negative values. Explanation: Here from the given input we see that 9 is the maximum number and it has occurred twice, first in the 2nd index and again in the 5th index. Similarly here 3 is the least and it also has appeared twice, once in the 3rd index and again in the 6th index. So we swap 9 and 3 from the 2nd and 3rd indices and then after swapping, print the new array. Input: 7935935874 Output: 7395645874 Comment:Range 0…arrow_forward
