Question

Suppose a computer uses a Load-Store Instruction Set Architecture with 32-bit instructions and 64 32-bit registers. The
instruction set consists of 256 different operations. The Load and Store instructions use only indirect-register addressing mode
to access memory. All other instructions have an opcode and two register address fields. What's the size of the largest physical
memory space that can be addressed by this computer? Assume byte addressable memory.

Suppose a program’s 15-th logical instruction (counting starts from zeroth) is at physical address 1234ABDE16 in the RAM. (contents of any logical address fits into any physical address) What is the physical address in the RAM where the program has been loaded? What is the physical address in the RAM of the last instruction of the program if it has 37 logical instructions altogether?
what is the maximum number of opcodes
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?
Suppose a computer has 32-bit instructions. The instruction set consists of 64 different operations. All instructions have an opcode and two address fields (allowing for two addresses). The first of these addresses must be a register direct address, and the second must be a memory address. Expanding opcodes are not used. The machine has 16 registers. How many bits can be used for the memory address?
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?
