I have this problem from my textbook that I do not understand, despite re-reading the section on segmentation and paging. "The IBM system/370 architecture uses a two-level memory structure and refers to the two levels as segments and pages, although the segmentation approach lacks many of the features described in Chapter 8. For the basic 370 architecture, the page size may be either 2 KB or 4 KB, and the segment size is fixed at either 64 KB or 1 MB. For the 370/XA and 370/ESA architectures, the page size is 4 KB and the segment size is 1 MB. What advantages of segmentation does this scheme lack? What is the benefit of segmentation for the 370?"Can you help me undertand what they are looking for in this explanation?
Assume that one 32-bit and two 16-bit microprocessors are to be interfaced to a system bus. The following details are given: All microprocessors have the hardware features necessary for any type of data transfer: programmed I/O, interrupt-driven IO, and DMA. All microprocessors have a 16-bit address bus. Two memory boards, each of 128 KBytes capacity, are interfaced with the bus. The designer wishes to use a shared memory that is as large as possible. The system bus supports a maximum of four interrupt lines and one DMA line. Make any other assumptions necessary, and do the following: a. Give the system bus specifications in terms of number and types of lines. b. Describe a possible protocol for communicating on the bus (i.e., read-write, interrupt, and DMA sequences). c. Explain how the aforementioned devices are interfaced to the system bus.

Design a memory map for a system with 64 K of memory space, a 16-bit address bus, and a 8-bit data bus. The system needs to meet the following design requirements: The system needs 20 K of RAM, organized in a contiguous block starting at address 0x1000 . The system needs RAM filling the memory range from 0xA000 to 0xCFFF (inclusive) Your design must be subject to the following constraints in terms of access to memory chips: You can use a maximum of two (2) 8 K×8 RAM chips. You can use a maximum of two (2) 4 K×8 RAM chips. You can use a maximum of two (2) 8 K×8 ROM chips. You can use a maximum of two (2) 4 K×4 ROM chips.

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
please answer with proper explanation and step by step solution. Question As a simple model of a bus-based multiprocessor system without caching, suppose that one instruction in every four references memory, and that a memory reference occupies the bus for an entire instruction time. If the bus is busy, the requesting CPU is put into a FIFO queue. How much faster will a 64-CPU system run than a 1-CPU system? Note: Don't copy paste from online website.
