Q1. Describe the multiple-module memory interleaving with a neat block diagram.

Q2. Describe the serial and parallel data communication.

Q3. A Virtual memory consists of an address space of 8K words, a memory space of 4K words and page sizes of 1K words.

The given page reference changes take place during a specific time interval.

4 2 0 1 2 6 1 4 0 1 0 2 3 5 7

a) FIFO
b) LRU

Q4. Compare the superscalar architecture to the VLIW architecture.

Q5. Describe the delay in pipeline execution. A non-pipeline system takes 50ns to complete a task. The similar task can be processed in a six segment pipeline with a clock cycle of 10ns. Find out speed-up-ratio of the pipeline for 100 tasks. Illustrate the maximum speed-up which can be accomplished?
