3 The feature in object oriented programming that follows he same operation to be carried out
differently ,depending on the object, is?
4. icroistructions stored in the control mamory of a processor have a width of 26 bits. Each
microinstructionsion. is divided into three fields: a microoperation field of 13 bits, a next address
field(x), and a MUX select field(y).There are 8 status bits in the inputs of the MUX. How many bits are
there in the X and Y fields, and what is the size of the control memory in number of words?
5. A cpu has 24-bit instructions. A program starts at address 300(in decimal).Which one of
the following is a legal program counter (all values in decimal)?
6. Consider a disk pack with 16 surfaces,128 tracks per surface and 256 sectors per track.512
bytes of data are stores in a bit serial manner in a sector.The capacity of the disk and the number of bits
required to specify a particular in the disk are respectively.
7. Consider a pipelined processor with the following four stages IF:Instruction
Fetch ID:Instruction Decode and Operand
Fetch EX:Execute WB:Write Back The IF,ID and WB stages take one clock cycle each to
complete the operation.The ADD and SUB instructions need 1 clock cycle and the MUL instruction
need 3 clock cycles in the EX stage.Operand forwarding is used in the pipelined processor.What is y
the number of clock cycles taken to complete the following sequence of
instructions? ADD R2,R1,R0 R2ßR1+R0
MUL R4,R3,R2 R4ßR3+R2
SUB R6,R5,R4 R6ßR5+R4

parameters 2.Registers saves and
restores 3.Instruction fetches
9. A processor that has carry, overflow and sign flag bits as part of its program status
word(PSW) performs addition of the following two 2’s complement numbers 0100101 and
11101001.After the execution of this addition operation, the status of the carry, overflow and sign
flags, respectively will be
