1. A hypothetical computer stores 12 bits of information. The first bit is used for the sign of the number; the second bit is used for the sign of the exponent. Four bits are used for the magnitude of the exponent and six bits are used for the magnitude of the mantissa.

a. Represent the number -147.32 in Binary scientific notation

b. How would the number be represented in the computer?

c. Calculate the true error and absolute relative true error

Expert Solution

ANSWER:

A) -147.32 IN BINARY SCIENTIFIC NOTATION = -1.001001101010001×2^7

B) The computer representation of -147.32 = 101000001001

C) True error = -0.00359374999

Absolute error = 0.00359374999

Relative error = 0.00002439417%

A 64 bit computer uses a memory of 32KB. Work out the number of bits of AR, DR, PC, AC, and the HEX code of the address of last memory location. b) The memory attached to a processor has access time of 400ns. When a cache memory is introduced in the system, it is found that on average the access time for the computer was 30% greater than the cache access time for a miss ratio of 0.10. Work out...

Write a computer program that stores and tracks information about high school students. The first piece of information is what grade the student is in. Since this is for high school, the available values are 9, 10, 11, and 12. We also want to track the student’s GPA. Examples of GPAs are 2.2, 2.6, and 4.0. Finally, we want to track the letter grade that the student got on his or her final exam. These values are A, B, C,...

IEEE 754 format of 32-bit floating-point is as follows. 1 8 (bits) 23 (bits) What’s stored in each region? What’s the bias value and how to get it? For decimal fraction: – 0.625, please represent it as given format (Note: you must show the specific procedure/stepsin order to get full credits. If you only present final result directly, you will only get half of the credits even if it is correct.).

Computer Architecture 1. Define what a "word" is in computer architecture: The size (number of bits) of the address The total number of bits of an instruction (e.g. 16 bits) Word and width are synonymous. A word is the contents of a memory register. 2. What is the difference between a register’s width and a register’s address? (choose all that apply - there may be more than one correct answer) They are both the same! Address is the same for...
