Assignment 2
Semester: III Batch: 2021F
Due Date:16-12-2022 Max Marks: 03

Instructions:
 This assignment contains 03 questions. You have to attempt all.
 Assignment Solution must be neat and clean on A4-size paper in your own hand writing.

Question 1 Explain the importance of Interrupts in computer functions through appropriate diagram.
Compare two general approaches of dealing multiple interrupts.
[01 Mark]

Question 2 Represent the given binary numbers to their equivalent decimals, and decimal numbers
to their 8-bit equivalents binary:
a. 1101.101)2
b. 9.25)10
[0.5 Mark]

Question 3 There are generally seven dimensions of any Instruction set Architecture and every
dimension is present with a taxonomy of instruction set alternatives and some qualitative
assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches.
Keeping in view all seven dimensions of Instruction Set Architecture, design the
RISC/CISC desktop architecture of a processor having three 8-bit, general purpose
registers working with byte addressable memory. The architecture design must meet the
following Requirements:
i. Class of Architecture should be selected in such a way that all of its operands are
explicit.
ii. It should be able to put the byte at the most-significant position in the double word.
iii. It should be able to calculate effective Memory Address by using any suitable two
Addressing Modes which relates class of Architecture.
iv. Type of Operands must be selected for Desktop Architecture.
v. It can Perform at least two basic operations (without which architecture cannot
work)
vi. It should follow an Encoding Scheme that allows all operation with all addressing
mode.
