Important Questions of Unit 1 (COA) for ST-1

Q 1. Define the term Computer Architecture and Computer Organization. Also differentiate
between these.
Q 2. What is mean by Bus Arbitration? Explain different types of Bus Arbitration with
suitable diagram.
Q 3. A digital computer has a common bus system for 8 registers of 16 bit each. The bus is
constructed using multiplexers.
I. How many select input are there in each multiplexer?
II. What is the size of multiplexers needed?
III. How many multiplexers are there in the bus?
Q 4. Discuss Stack Organization.
I. Register Stack
II. Memory Stack

Q 5. What do you mean by Addressing Mode? Explain different types of Addressing Modes
with suitable example. [Auto increment and auto decrement addressing mode
also]
Q 6. Evaluate the arithmetic statement.
X = A + B * [C * D + E * (F + G)]
Using a Stack Organized computer with One, two, three and zero address operation
instructions.
Q 7. What do you mean by Processor Organization? Explain various types of Processor
Organization.
Q 8. An instruction is stored at location 400 with its address field at location 401. The address
field has the value 500. A processor register R1 contains the 200. Evaluate the effective
address if the addressing mode of the instruction is
(i) Direct Addressing
(ii) Immediate Addressing
(iii) Relative Addressing
