IOT103TC: Computer Architecture and Operating System

Individual Coursework, CW1 (40%)

Exploring the Depths: Digital Circuit Design, Assembly Language, and Computer Memory Systems

Students  will  write  an  individual  research  essay  (no  more  than  2000  words) individually as the coursework that will consist of three main parts:

• Part A: Logic circuit design.

•    Part B: (Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipelined Stages) MIPS Assembly Language.

•    Part C: Computer Memory Management.

Please follow the subsequent instructions while preparing your report:

A. Logic circuit design. (30 Marks)

1.  Explain the principles of D latch and D flip-flop, and draw their truth tables. Why does the flip-flop have feedback? What happens if two inverters are directly connected end to end? (10 Marks)

2. What happens if an odd number of inverters are connected end to end, and what happens if an even number of inverters are connected end to end? ( 10 Marks)

3.  Given a square wave with an input frequency of 1000, design a circuit to reduce the output frequency by half. (10 Marks)

B. MIPS Assembly Language. (40 Marks)

1.  Select two simple algorithms, such as calculating the factorial of a number or finding  the  maximum  element   in  an  array  and  write  the  algorithm   in pseudocode or a high-level programming language. (20 Marks)

2. Translate the algorithm into machine code instructions, considering the specific architecture and instruction set of a chosen processor. (10 Marks)

3.  Provide the machine code algorithm (source code) as part of the essay, with line numbers. Provide a step-by-step explanation of how the algorithm  is executed in machine code, including the use of registers, memory access, and control flow instructions. (10 Marks)

C. Computer Memory Management. (30 Marks)

Virtualization is one of the biggest improvements in modern computer architecture.

1.  Briefly explain the concept of virtual memory in modern computer architecture. (10 Marks)

2.  Discuss the advantages of virtual memory in modern computing. ( 10 Marks)

3.  Discuss the advantages of cache memory in modern computer systems and Outline the disadvantages of cache memory. ( 10 Marks)

Submission Guidelines:

• Prepare the report documenting your answers, findings and analysis.

•    Include   clear   explanations,   diagrams,   and   examples  to  support  your descriptions and implementations.

• Properly cite and reference any external sources used.

•    Format the utilized references according to the specified guidelines (e.g., APA style).

This coursework must be submitted via the Learning Mall online - no later than 23:59 time on the following date: 7th of December, 2024 (China Time GMT+8).
