An address space is specified by 24­bit and the correspondence memory space is 16 bit. How many words are there in memory space?

An address space is specified by 24­bit and the correspondence memory space is 16 bit. How many words are there in memory space? Correct Answer 4096 words

The correct answer is option 1.

Concept:

Address space:

The amount of memory allotted for all possible addresses for a computing entity is referred to as address space. A range of logical space on any area of a computer or a peripheral device where data can be stored is referred to as an address space.

 With "n" bits address space, the number of words in the address space is= 2n / size of the word. 

Address space bits n =24

Memory space:

Memory space is a notion associated with a collective memory that states that specific places, items, or events might have a unique value in terms of community recall. It is sufficient to satisfy a request or to house a process within it, but it is not contiguous and hence cannot be utilized.

With "n" bits memory space, the number of words in the address space is =2n/ size of the word.

Address space bits n =16

The number of words in the memory space is=216/16.

The number of words in the memory space is= 212 = 4096 words.

Hence the correct answer is 4096 words.

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?

Consider a hypothetical processor with an instruction of type LW R1, 20(R2), which during execution reads a 32-bit word from memory and stores it in a 32-bit register R1. The effective address of the memory location is obtained by the addition of constant 20 and the contents of register R2. Which of  the  following best reflects the addressing mode implemented by this instruction for the operand in memory?
