Question

Consider a RAM of 4M words x 32 bits/word that has Data lines, Address lines, Read and write down and Select command lines.

1. How many chips are essential to implement the RAM memory if are used RAM chips 1MB

2. How many address lines are needed to access memory?

3. How many data lines are needed to access memory?

4. Illustrate a block diagram and label all pins (lines) that are required for RAM integrated circuit (chip) as input, output, or input/output.

Think a CPU that can address 4M words x 32 bits/word of memory.

1. Explain layout of an associative cache that can hold
256K words x 32 bits/word.

2. explain layout of a two-way set-associative cache that be able to hold 256K words x 32 bits/word
