Attempt any two:

2×10=20 

1. Define addressing mode? Write the RISC I instruction in assembly language that will cause a jump to address 3200 if the Z (zero) status bit is equal to 1 by using immediate mode.
2. What is instruction pipelining? Consider the multiplication of two 40×40 matrices using a vector processor. Find out how many product terms are there in each inner product and how many inner products must be evaluated.
3. Define the mode of information transfer? Draw and explain the priority interrupt hardware by using four interrupt sources.

Attempt any two:

2×10=20

1. Draw and explain the block diagram of DMA controller and DMA transfer mechanism.
