2. a) Explain the direct mapping of Cache memory? [10]
   OR
   a) Give a neat sketch that illustrates the components in a typical memory hierarchy.
   b) How many lines of the address bus must be used to access 2048 bytes of memory? How many of these lines will be common to all chips? [5+5]
3. A two word instruction is stored in memory at an address designated by symbol W. The address field of the instruction (stored at W + 1) is designated by the symbol Y. The operand used during the execution of the instruction is stored at an address symbolized by Z. An index register contains the value X. State how Z is calculated from the other addresses if the addressing mode of the instruction is

   OR
   b) Why are the read and write control lines in a DMA controller bidirectional? Under what condition and for what purpose are they used as inputs? Under what condition and for what purpose are they used as outputs? [10]
5. A non-pipeline system takes 50 ns to process a task. The same task can be processed in a six-segment pipeline with a clock cycle of 10 ns. Determine the speedup ratio of the pipeline for 100 tasks. What is the maximum speed up that can be achieved?
