Should we attach the CPU to memory using an asynchronous or synchronous bus? Explain the reasoning behind your conclusion.

Should we utilise a synchronous or asynchronous bus for CPU-memory connections?

Suppose we have a 16KB byte-addressable memory that is 16-way low-order interleaved. What is the size of the memory address module offset field? Explain why.

Should the CPU-memory bus be synchronous or asynchronous? Which works best? Explain your choice.

Give an explanation as to why it is not possible to add extra cores to a CPU in order to improve its performance and remain in line with Moore's law?

Do you prefer to utilize an asynchronous or synchronous bus for CPU and memory?

Should the bus between the CPU and RAM be synchronised or not? Which is better? Explain your pick.

Given a 256x 8 RAM chip, you are asked to build a memory with capacity of 2048 words with a word size equal 16 bits. a. How many 256x8 RAM chips are needed to provide a memory capacity of 2048 words? Specify the layout of the chips by stating the number of rows and columns. b. How many address bits are needed for the built memory? c. How many RAM chips are there per memory word?

Should we utilise a synchronous bus to connect the CPU and the Memory, or an asynchronous bus? Should we go with the most efficient option? What prompted you to make that choice?

Should we use an asynchronous or synchronous bus to link the CPU to the memory? Is it the one that performs the best? Why did you make that decision?
