A computer system contains a big endian byte addressable memory system with 8 separate memory modules. Each memory module is 32 bits wide and contains 134217728 cells. Cells within each memory module are numbered 0 through 134217727. a) If the memory employs high order interleaving, what is the 32-bit memory address of cell 1048578 within module 3? b) If the high order interleaved memory uses little-endian instead of big-endian storage order, what is the 32-bit memory address of cell 511 within module 1? c) If the memory employs low order interleaving, what is the 32-bit memory address of byte 1048575 within module 2? Bytes are numbered starting from 0. Express the address in hex.
A computer system contains a big endian byte addressable memory system with 8 separate memory modules. Each memory module is 32 bits wide and contains 134217728 cells. Cells within each memory module are numbered 0 through 134217727.
a) If the memory employs high order interleaving, what is the 32-bit memory address of cell 1048578 within module 3?
b) If the high order interleaved memory uses little-endian instead of big-endian storage order, what is the 32-bit memory address of cell 511 within module 1?
c) If the memory employs low order interleaving, what is the 32-bit memory address of byte 1048575 within module 2? Bytes are numbered starting from 0. Express the address in hex.
d) What is the main advantage of using low-order interleaved memory compared to using high-order interleaved memory?
