For which purpose a clock circuit is used with a sequential circuit? Correct Answer To synchronize the operations of all flip-flops

Sequential circuits give outputs based on the present input as well as the previous outputs. That’s why we need a memory block. Flip flops especially D and JK flip-flops are used as a memory for sequential circuits as they have the capacity to hold a bit value. Hence, the answer is a flip-flop. But there are several flip-flops used in a circuit. So, we need a common exciter to work all the flip-flops simultaneously. Clock does actually that job by giving exactly same oscillation as input to all the flip-flops.

There are 3 clocks located at California, Berlin and Beijing respectively. If the hour hand of the clock at California is rotated by 270 degrees, then it will show same time as clock in Berlin. If the hour hand of clock in Berlin is rotated by 180 degrees, then it will show same time as clock in Beijing. If time at clock at Beijing is 8 : 30 PM what time is clock at California showing?

On a non-pipelined sequential processor, a program segment, which is a part of the interrupt service routine, is given to transfer 500 bytes from an I/O device to memory.     Initialize the address register     Initialize the count to 500 LOOP: Load a byte from device     Store in memory at address given by address register     Increment the address register     Decrement the count     If count! = 0 go to LOOP Assume that each statement in this program is equivalent to a machine instruction which takes one clock cycle to execute if it is a non-load/store instruction. The load-store instructions take two clock cycles to execute. The designer of the system also has an alternate approach of using the DMA controller to implement the same transfer. The DMA controller requires 20 clock cycles for initialization and other overheads. Each DMA transfer cycle takes two clock cycles to transfer one byte of data from the device to the memory. What is the approximate speedup when the DMA controller based design is used in place of the interrupt driven program based input-output?
A 5-stage pipelined processor has Instruction Fetch (IF), Instruction Decode (ID), Operand Fetch (OF), Perform Operation (PO) and Write Operand (WO) stages. The IF, ID, OF and WO stages take 1 clock cycle each for any instruction. The PO stage takes 1 clock cycle for ADD and SUB instructions, 3 clock cycles for MUL instruction, and 6 clock cycles for DIV instruction respectively. Operand forwarding is used in the pipeline. What is the number of clock cycles needed to execute the following sequence of instructions? Instruction Meaning of instruction I0 : MUL R2, R0, R1 R2← R0 * R1 I1 : DIV R5, R3, R4 R5 ← R3 / R4 I2 : ADD R2, R5, R2 R2 ← R5 + R2 I3 : SUB R5, R2, R6 R5 ← R2 – R6

A boatman wants to cross a river which distance is 80 km. In the starting boatman goes to 20 km and then turn 90 degree anti-clock wise and goes 60 km in upstream after that he turn 90 degree clock wise and goes 40 km. After that he turn 90 degree clock wise and goes 60 km. In the end he turn 90 degree anti-clock wise and goes 20 km and reach his destination. The speed of boatman is 22 km/hr and speed of stream is 4 km/hr. Find the time to cover total distance?
