Consider a 16-bit processor in which the following appears in main memory, starting at location 200: B. The first part of the first word indicates that this instruction loads a value into an accumulator. The mode field specifies an addressing mode and if appropriate, indicates a source register; Assume that when used, the source register is R1, which has a value of 400. There is also an index register (XR) that contains 100. The value of 500 in location 201 may be part of the address calculation. Assume that location 399 contains the value 999, location 400 contains the value 1000, and so on. Determine the effective address and the operand to be loaded for the following address modes:

Consider a simple read-only memory (ROM) unit with 2-bit addressand 2-bit data buses.Draw the internal architecture of such a ROM unit includingtransistors, address and data signals, and the row decoder.? I have attached the answer to the question, but I am confused by it, if you could explain every step including how many transistors to use, where to place them and the basic procedure which could be used with other similar questions that would be helpful
A digital computer has a memory unit with 24 bits per word. The instruction set consists of 150 different operations. All instructions have an operation code part (opcode) and an address part (allowing for only one address, similar to Marie). Each instruction is stored in one word of memory. a) How many bits are needed for the opcode? b) How many bits are left for the address part of the instruction? c) What is the maximum allowable size for memory?
Assume that the instruction pointer, EIP, contains 9810 and the assembly language representation of the instruction in memory at address 9810 is JAE 131. If the flags are currently CF=1, ZF=0 and SF=0 what is the value of the EIP after the instruction executes? The answer 102 is not correct so what is the correct answer?

Note that the CPU, memory subsystem, and I/O subsystem are connected by address, data, and control buses. The fact that these are parallel buses is denoted by the slash through cach line that significs a bus.

I want all steps for Consider a computer which has a memory which is capable of storing 4096 K words and each word in memory can be of size 32 bits. The computer supports a total of “6” addressing modes, and it has “50” computer registers. The computer supports instructions, where each instruction consists of following fields: • Mode • Operation code • Register • Register • Memory Address Given that each instruction will be stored in one memory word, discuss with a suitable diagram the format of instruction by specifying number of bits for each field of instruction. Discuss each field of instruction
A digital computer has a memory unit with 32 bits per word. The instruction set consists of 110 different operations. All instructions have an operation code part (opcode) and two address fields: one for a memory address and one for a register address. This particular system includes eight general-purpose, user-addressable registers. Registers may be loaded directly from memory, and memory may be updated directly from the registers. Direct memory-to-memory data movement operations are not supported. Each instruction stored in one word of memory. At least, how many bits are needed for the opcode?
