(a) The CPU computations and I/O operations cannot be overlapped in a multipro- grammed computer. (b) Synchronization of all PEs in an SIMD computer is done by hardware rather than by software as is often done in most MIMD computers. (c) As far as programmability is concerned, shared-memory multiprocessors offer sim- pler interprocessor communication support than that offered by a message-passing multicomputer.

Imagine that you have been given the responsibility of illustrating the manner in which the Memory Module, the I/O Module, and the CPU Module are all coupled with one another as well as the rest of the computer. Do you think it is necessary for you to emphasise the relevance of this message in the appropriate manner?
Asymmetric and symmetric multiprocessing are also possible. Can you explain the pros and cons of utilising many CPUs in a same program?
b) Machine cycle defines a loop process with four major components. Explain why machine cycle is important? If the components of machine cycle are inter-swapped, would that cause any problems? Can we add another module to rectify the problem caused by inter-swapping? c) Cache memory and RAM both are based on transistor based then why cache memory is needed if we already have RAM (Random Access Memory) as a volatile memory? Is it possible to deploy any one type of memory in computer for all purposes?
Discuss the principles of memory hierarchy and the trade-offs involved in designing a memory subsystem for a computer.
Discuss the performance of processor. Briefly discus the performance of registers in processor?
The use of transistors in the construction of RAM and ROM leads me to believe that there is no need for cache memory.The term "temporary storage" may also be thought of as "random access memory" (RAM) that is momentarily vacant. Imagine a machine that only had one kind of memory—is it even possible?
Q: The ENIAC was a decimal machine, where a register was represented by a ring of 10 vacuum tubes. At any time, only one vacuum tube was in the ON state, representing one of the 10 digits. Assuming that ENIAC had the capability to have multiple vacuum tubes in the ON and OFF state simultaneously, Compare how Little’s and Amdahl’s law will work on it?
