    a.The sign bit of the result is set

    b.The result would set the zero flag

    c.The carry flag is set

    d.The overflow flag is set

    1. 000+011
    2. 000+111
    3. 111+110
    4. 100+111

Chapter 12

  1. Problem 12-1
  2. Problem 12-2
  3. Problem 12-5

Chapter 13

  1. Problem 13-6

Chapter 14

  1. Problem 14-1
  2. An expanding opcode is a scheme whereby the opcode has a variable length. Suppose you have a 16-bit instruction with the most significant bits are for the opcode and the least significant bits are for addresses/data. For example opcode values 0-14 imply the low order 12 bits have a certain format. The opcode in the most significant bits with a value of 15 implies that the first 8 bits of the instruction are opcode and the remaining 8 bits are data/addresses. Design an expanding opcode to allow all the following to be encoded in the 36-bit instruction:

Chapter 9

  1. Question 9.3 The question: A program computes the row sums:
    ci= summation j=1 to n of aij
    of an array A that is 100 by 100. Assume that the computer uses demand paging with a page size of 1000 words and that the amount of main memory allotted for data is 5 page frames. Is there any difference in the page fault rate if A were stored in virtual memory by rows or columns? Explain.
