MCS-012 : COMPUTER ORGANISATION AND


ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING
Maximum Marks : 100

Time : 3 hours

(Weightage 75%)
Note : Question number 1 is compulsory and carries
40 marks. Answer any three questions from the
rest.

1. (a)

IEEE floating point representation for


single precision number uses the format
as :
Sign bit (1 bit) Biased exponent (8 bits)
Significant (23 bits).
In this representation a floating point
number where 0 < E < 255 having
any significant is equivalent to
(1 . N)2 (E 127). Using this format
represent the following decimal numbers :

(i)

0.250

(ii)

8
1

P.T.O.

Now using the representation perform the


following operations :
(i)

0.250 + 8

(ii)

0.250 x 8

10

(b) Simplify the following using Karnaugh's


map :
F (A, B, C, D) = E (0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12).
Draw the logic diagram for the resultant
boolean expression using AND OR NOT
gates.
(c) For a computer having 32 word RAM
(1 word = 8 bits) and cache memory of
4 blocks (block size = 16 bits), where can
we find main memory location 10 in cache
if
6
(i)

Associative mapping is used,

(ii)

Direct mapping is used.

(d) Explain the following addressing modes


with the help of an example each :
(i)

Register Indirect Addressing

(ii)

Stack Addressing

(iii) Indexed Addressing


(e) Explain any four characteristics of RISC
machine.

(f) Write an Assembly language program to


search a given number with value 25 in a
group of 10 numbers stored in memory.
Store 1 in AL register for successful search,
else store 0. Make suitable assumptions.
