QUESTION 1:
Consider a system with 2 level caches. Access times of Level 1 cache, Level 2 cache, and main
memory are 2 ns, 10 ns, and 200 ns, respectively. The hit rates of Level 1 and Level 2 caches are
0.8 and 0.9, respectively. What is the average access time of the system ignoring the search time
within the cache?
a) 8.6 ns
b) 6.2 ns
c) 7.4 ns
d) 6.4 ns
Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution: Average access time = [H1*T1]+[(1-H1)*H2*T2]+[(1-H1)(1-H2)*Hm*Tm]

H1 = Hit rate of level 1 cache = 0.8
T1 = Access time for level 1 cache = 2 ns
Hm = Hit rate of Main Memory = 1
Tm = Access time for Main Memory = 200 ns
QUESTION 2:
A computer’s processor sends 32 bit addresses to the cache controller. It has a 512 KByte, 8-way
set associative, write back data cache with block size of 32 Bytes. In addition to the address tag,
each cache tag directory entry contains 3 valid bits and 1 modified bit. Find the size of the cache
tag directory.
a) 212 Kbits
b) 320 Kbits
c) 160 Kbits
d) 120 Kbits
Correct Answer: b
Detailed Solution: Number of blocks = Cache-Size/Block-Size = 512 KB / 32 Bytes = 214

JULY-2021

Number of Sets = 214 / 8 = 211

Tag + Set offset + Byte offset = 32
Tag + 11 + 5 = 32
Tag = 16
16 bit address
3 bit valid
1 modified
Total bits = 20
20 × no. of blocks
= 320 K bits.
QUESTION 3:

Which of the statements below is TRUE after the program is executed?
a) Memory location 5000 has value 77

b) Memory location 5020 has value 77
c) Memory location 5101 has value 77
d) Memory location 5021 has value 77
Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution:
1. R1←1 (Move immediate)
2. R2←[5000+[R1]], ( Load from memory)
R2←5000+1
[5000+1]=101
Thus, value =101 is moved to the register R2

JULY-2021

the maximum number of hosts per subnet?

a) 1022
b) 2048
c) 2046
d) 2047
Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution: The binary representation of the subnet mask is
1111111.11111111.11111000.00000000. There are 21 bits set in the subnet. So 11 (32-21) bits are
left for host ids. Total possible values of host ids is 2^11 = 2048. Out of these 2048 values, 2
addresses are reserved. The address with all bits as 1 is reserved as broadcast address and address
with all host id bits as 0 is used as the network address of the subnet. In general, the number of
addresses usable for addressing specific hosts in each network is always 2^N – 2 where N is the
number of bits for host id.
QUESTION 9:

Assignment- Week 0
QUESTION 1:
Which of the following ports is a registered port in network paradigm?
a) 20
b) 1020
c) 36255
d) 58628
Correct Answer: (c)
Detailed Solution: Ports with numbers 0–1023 are called system or well-known ports, ports with
numbers 1024 – 49151 are called user or registered ports, and ports with numbers 49152 – 65535
are called dynamic, private or ephemeral ports. Here only the port with number 36255 is a
registered port.
QUESTION 2:
Which device uses a logical addressing system?
a) Hub
b) Router
c) Bridge
d) Switch
Correct Answer: (b)

Detailed Solution: Router uses logical addressing system.
QUESTION 3:
Which of the following is FALSE?
a) Kernel level threads cannot share the code segment.
b) User level threads are not scheduled by the kernel.
c) Context switching between user level threads is faster than context switching between
kernel level threads.
d) When a user level thread is blocked, all other threads of its process are blocked.
Correct Answer: (a)

Detailed Solution: Kernel-level threads can share code segments. So, A is FALSE. User level
threads are scheduled by the thread library and the kernel is not involved. So, B is TRUE. Context
1
JAN-2023
switching between user level threads is faster as they have no actual context-switch, nothing is
saved while for kernel level threads, Registers, PC and SP must be saved and restored. So, C is
TRUE. When a user level thread is blocked, all other threads of its process are blocked. So, D is
TRUE.
QUESTION 4:
In classful addressing, the IP address 192.2.255.255 belongs to which class?
a) Class A
b) Class B
c) Class C
d) Class D
Correct Answer: (c)

Detailed Solution: In Class C, IP addresses range from 192.0.0.x to 223.255.255.x where x is a
positive integer between 0 and 255.
QUESTION 5:
Consider a system with 2 level caches. The access times of Level 1 cache, Level 2 cache, and main
memory are 2 ns, 25 ns, and 200 ns, respectively. The hit rates of Level 1 cache, Level 2 cache and
main memory are 0.6, 0.8 and 1, respectively. What is the average access time of the system,
ignoring the search time within the cache?
a) 20.5 ns
b) 25.2 ns
c) 24 ns
d) 22.5 ns
Correct Answer: (b)
Detailed Solution: Average access time = [H1*T1]+[(1-H1)*H2*T2]+[(1-H1)(1-H2)*Hm*Tm]
Hm = Hit rate of Main Memory = 1
Tm = Access time for Main Memory = 200 ns
QUESTION 6:
Increasing the RAM of a computer typically improves performance because:
a) Larger RAMs are faster
b) Fewer page faults occur
c) Fewer segmentation faults occur
2
JAN-2023
d) Virtual memory increases
Correct Answer: (b)

Detailed Solution: When RAM size is bigger, the page table would have more entries of pages,
which increases the probability of a page being present in the page table, hence the number of page
faults is lower.
QUESTION 7:
Match the following columns for the TCP/IP protocol stack:
Protocol TCP/IP Layer
1. IP A. Transport Layer
2. UDP B. Application Layer
3. SMTP C. Data link Layer
4. PPP D. Network Layer
a) 1-D, 2-A, 3-B, 4-C

b) 1-C, 2-A, 3-D, 4-B
c) 1-B, 2-C, 3-A, 4-D
d) 1-A, 2-C, 3-D, 4-B
Correct Answer: (a)

Detailed Solution: IP is a network layer protocol, UDP is a transport layer protocol, SMTP is an
application layer protocol and PPP is a data link layer protocol. Hence option (a) is correct.
QUESTION 8:
