2. This question is about Digital Logic and Address DecodingA computer is being designed using a microprocessor with a 16-bit address bus (A0—A15, where A0 is the least significant bit). The 64K address space is to be split betweenand allocated to RAM, ROM and I/O hardware as follows:Address Range (hex) Contains Select Signal0x0000 — 0x1FFF Main RAM RAMCS0x8000 — 0x9FFF Video RAM VRAMCS0xB000 — 0xBFFF I/O hardware IOCS0xC000 — 0xCFFF BASIC ROM BROMCS0xF000 — 0xFFFF OS ROM OSROMCSThe rest of the address space is unused.Note: As with many computer systems, it its only necessary to decode addresses to sufficiently identify each of the sections above uniquely. It is acceptable for some parts to be decodeable by more than one address provided these extra addresses do not overlap any of the other specified address ranges. Using a combination of AND, OR and NOT gates and the signals (A12 — A15) that contain the top four bits of the address in binary form: a. Derive the equation for a logic…

WHAT ABOUT IT? IS IT TRUE OR FALSE?The fact that programs for zero-address instruction computers are very brief is one of their advantages; yet, the fact that their instructions need a large number of bits makes their programs exceptionally long.
Q.1. A computer uses a memory unit with 1024 K words of 32 bits each (as shown in the figure below). A binary instruction code is stored in one word of memory. The instruction has four parts: an indirect bit, an operation code, a register code part to specify one of 64 registers, and an address part (15). How many bits are there in the operation code, the register code part, and the address part? Draw the instruction word format and indicate the number of bits in each part? How many bits are there in the data and address inputs of the memory?
A microprocessor has an increment memory direct instruction, which adds 1 to the value in a memory location. The instruction has five stages: fetch opcode(four bus clock cycles),fetch operand address (three cycles), fetch operand (three cycles) add 1 to operand (three cycles), and store operand (three cycles). a. By what amount (in percent) will the duration of the instruction increase if we have to insert two bus wait states in each memory read and memory write operation? b. repeat assuming that the increment operation takes 13 cycles instead of 3 cycles

Modern 64-bit Processors with 64-bit address buses may access a maximum of 264 bytes of memory. Do you think the need for virtual memory would disappear if sufficient physical memory could be provided in these systems at a reasonable price? Argue your point of view.
