3. Problem 5. A digital computer has a memory unit with 24 bits per word. The instruction set consists of 150 different operatio

ns. All instructions have an operation code part (opcode) and an address part (allowing for only one address). Each instruction is stored in one word of memory. a. How many bits are needed for the opcode? b. How many bits are left for the address part of the instruction? c. What is the maximum allowable size for memory? d. What is the largest unsigned binary number that can be accommodated in one word of memory?

Answer:

a) 8 bits b) 16 bits. c) 2¹⁶ * 24 bits d) 2²⁴ -1

Explanation:

a) In order to be able to accommodate 150 different instructions, the number of bits needed must be equal to the minimum power of 2 that satisfies this equation:

2n > 150, i.e. n=8.  

b) If the total number of bits for a word is 24, and 8 are used for the op code, there are 16 bits left for the address part.

c) If the address part has 16 bits, this means that the total addressable space is just 2¹⁶, so the maximum allowable size is 2¹⁶ * 24 bits.

d) As we have 24 bits to be filled, the largest unsigned binary number is just 2²⁴ – 1 .

(As we need to leave a position for all zeros).

Why is code tracing important when debugging?
larisa [96]

It helps reveal the flow of execution of your program, including results of in-between evaluations. In other words, you can see what your program is doing, and why it takes the decisions it is taking.

If something unexpected happens, the trace will show you the sequence of events that lead to it.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

You should find a good game engine that is not hard. Unity and Unreal are some good ones.

You should also search for the programming language you like the most, and use engines that use that specific language.

Compare and contrast between Client/Server and Peer-to-Peer networks. What are some of the business benefits of using such netwo
fgiga [73]
Client/Server and Peer-to-Peer networks are the two major network architecture models in use today. They each have advantages and disadvantages that can be used to benefit a particular outcome.

Briefly, the client/server model relates to one or many client performing relatively simple requests, which are then executed by a server. The server is performing more complex tasks, and often interacting with many clients simultaneously. Examples of client/server models include most websites, including the Brainly page you are running right this instant. Your web browser is acting as a client, and the Brainly.com website is running as a web server. It receives simple requests or information from your browser, such as clicking on a question or text typed by your keyboard, and then acts on this information by consulting a database, returning values, or returning a whole new web page to your browser. The client/server model is very powerful in business as it allows powerful and secure server-side processing and relatively simple clients. Office 365 that runs all microsoft office suites such as word and excel in a web browser on 'the cloud' is an example of a highly sophisticated client/server architecture.

By contrast, peer-to-peer networks are a distributed architecture of equals. Instead of a simple client and complex server, all clients are equals and link together to form nodes on a distributed network. There is no central control (server) and each node acts as a client and server to other nodes. This is also an extremely powerful network; as there is no central control it is difficult to shut down a peer-to-peer network. Taking out one node will not break the network in comparison to the client/server architecture where if the server goes down, services halt. Prime examples of famous peer-to-peer networks are the Bitcoin network and similar cryptographic currency networks, and music and file sharing networks such as Torrents. The torrent tracker websites are client/server however once a torrent is loaded into a torrent downloading application, the file is collectively downloaded from hundreds of 'peers' across the world as part of the torrent peer-to-peer network.
