What is the difference between computer architecture and computer organization?

The distinction between "computer architecture" and "computer organization" has become very fuzzy, if no completely confused or unusable. Computer architecture was essentially a contract with software stating unambiguously what the hardware does. The architecture was essentially a set of statements of the form "If you execute this instruction (or get an interrupt, etc.), then that is what happens. Computer organization, then, was a usually high-level description of the logic, memory, etc, used to implement that contract: These registers, those data paths, this connection to memory, etc. Programs written to run on a particular computer architecture should always run correctly on that architecture no matter what computer organization (implementation) is used. For example, both Intel and AMD processors have the same X86 architecture, but how the two companies implement that architecture (their computer organizations) is usually very different. The same programs run correctly on both, because the architecture is the same, but they may run at different speeds, because the organizations are different. Likewise, the many companies implementing MIPS, or ARM, or other processors are providing the same architecture - the same programs run correctly on all of them - but have very different high - level organizations inside them.

Answer:

Flowchart of an algorithm (Euclid's algorithm) for calculating the greatest common divisor (g.c.d.) of two numbers a and b in locations named A and B. The algorithm proceeds by successive subtractions in two loops: IF the test B ≥ A yields "yes" or "true" (more accurately, the number b in location B is greater than or equal to the number a in location A) THEN, the algorithm specifies B ← B − A (meaning the number b − a replaces the old b). Similarly, IF A > B, THEN A ← A − B. The process terminates when (the contents of) B is 0, yielding the g.c.d. in A. (Algorithm derived from Scott 2009:13; symbols and drawing style from Tausworthe 1977).

16.50. Suppose we have a sequential (ordered) file of 100,000 records where each record is 240 bytes. Assume that B = 2,400 byte
Nat2105 [25]

Answer and Explanation:

Given that total number of records in a file = 100000

Each record consists of= 240 bytes

Given that B= 2400 bytes.

Then total blocks in file = 100000 records * 240 / 2400

= 10000 blocks.

Time that will take for exhaustive read

= s + r + b.btt

= 16 + 8.3 + (10000) * 0.8

= 8024.3 msec

Now as per given X be the number of records that are searched randomly and it takes more than exhaustive read time.

Hence, X (s + r + btt) > 8024.3

X (16+8.3+0.8) > 8024.3

X > 8024.3/25.1

So that, X > 319.69

Hence, atleast 320 random reads should be made to search the file
