1. Using examples (make up the numbers or use the numbers I gave you), please explain how the length for clock cycle is determined. Determine the latency of the CPU using your example. Again using the un-pipelined and pipelined CPUs in your example calculate the speed up gained by pipelining. Use the sample problem I gave you to answer this question.
2. Briefly discuss pipeline Hazards, use examples. How MIPS handles these hazards? Use this code to explain specific data hazards. Show how forwarding can save some cycles. Show your work.
DADD R1, R2,R3
DSUB R4,R1,R5
ADD R6,R1,R7
OR R8,R1,R9
XOR R10,41,R11
Operating System
3. How is memory allocated to a process? Explain the difference between logical address and physical address. Address issued by the CPU has to be converted to specific memory address, please explain how this is handled, what hardware is added to speed up this process?
4. What is a memory hole? How does it occur and how OS handles this?
