Answer:

  1. a) 23       b) 21
  2. a) 43        b) 42
  3. a) 0          b) 0

Explanation:

1) How many bits is needed to address a 2M * 32 memory

2M = 2^1*2^20, while item =32 bit long word

hence ; L = 2^21 ; w = 32

a) when the memory is byte addressable

w = 8;  L = ( 2M * 32 ) / 8 =  2M * 4

hence number of bits =  log2(2M * 4)= log2 ( 2 * 2^20 * 2^2 ) = 23 bits

b) when the memory is word addressable

W = 32 ; L = ( 2M * 32 )/ 32 = 2M

hence the number of bits = log2 ( 2M ) = Log2 (2 * 2^20 ) = 21 bits

2) How many bits are required to address a 4M × 16 main memory

4M = 4^1*4^20 while item = 16 bit long word

hence L ( length ) = 4^21 ; w = 16

a) when the memory is byte addressable

w = 8 ; L = ( 4M * 16 ) / 8 = 4M * 2

hence number of bits = log 2 ( 4M * 2 ) = log 2 ( 4^1*4^20*2^1 ) ≈ 43 bits

b) when the memory is word addressable

w = 16 ; L = ( 4M * 16 ) / 16 = 4M

hence number of bits = log 2 ( 4M ) = log2 ( 4^1*4^20 ) ≈ 42 bits

3) How many bits are required to address a 1M * 8 main memory

1M = 1^1 * 1^20 ,  item = 8

L = 1^21 ; w = 8

a) when the memory is byte addressable

w = 8 ; L = ( 1 M * 8 ) / 8 = 1M

hence number of bits = log 2 ( 1M ) = log2 ( 1^1 * 1^20 ) = 0 bit

b) when memory is word addressable

w = 8 ; L = ( 1 M * 8 ) / 8 = 1M

number of bits = 0
