2. (a) Explain the following program control instructions with the help of suitable illustrations:

(i) Branch and Jump 
(ii) CALL and RETN

2. (b) How is virtual memory managed using Paging and TLB? Explain with a suitable example.

3. (a) Write a program using 8086 assembly language for interchanging the values of two memory locations.

3. (b) Discuss any five characteristics of an RISC architecture. What are the advantages of using large register files in these machines? Explain using suitable illustration.

4. (a )Explain the instruction pipeline using an illustration. What are the various problems faced by the instruction pipeline?

4. (b) What do you mean by cache memory? How does it affect the performance of the computer system? An eight-way. set-associative cache is used in a computer in which the real memory size is 232 bytes. The line size is 16 bytes and there are 2 lines per set. Calculate the cache size and tag length.

5. (a) Explain the Daisy chaining mechanism for bus arbitration. Analyze the three bus arbitration methods chaining. polling and independent requests with respect to communication reliability in the event of hardware failures.

5. (b) Give the block diagram of the micro-program sequencer for a control memory and explain it properly.

6 (a) What do you understand by hardwired control? Give various methods to design hardwired control units. Describe anyone with a suitable example.

6. (b) Explain the term ‘RAID’. What are the techniques used by RAID to enhance reliability?

7 (a) What is an array processor? Explain the SIMD array processor with a suitable example.

7. (b) A digital computer has a common bus system of 16 registers of 32 bits each. The bus is constructed with multiplexers. (i) How many selection inputs are there in each multiplexer? (ii) What size of multiplexer is needed?

8. (a) When do you say the floating-point number is normalized? Explain how the floating-point representation of numbers is done. Represent the number (+46-25) as a floating-point binary number with 32 bits.

8. (b) Explain in detail the hardware-based speculation for an MIPS processor and explain how multiple issue is handled with speculation.

9. (a) What are the pipeline conflicts? Explain the hardware techniques to handle the branch instructions.

9. (b) A DMA controller transfers 16-bit words to memory using cycle stealing. The words are assembled from a device that transmits characters at the rate of 2400 characters per second. The CPU is fetching and executing instructions at an average rate of 1 million instructions per second. By how much will the CPU be slowed down because of DMA transfer?
