Question Paper of CS -12 Computer Architecture June-2003

Q.1(i) The SPARC architecture can be implemented with two to eight registe windows, for a total 40 to 132 General Purpose Registers in the intege unit. Explain how general purpose Registers (GPRs) are organized ini overlapping windows in each of the following designs:
a) Use 40 GPRs to construct two windows.
b) Use 72 G PRs to construct 4 windows.
c) In what sense is the SPARC considered a scalable architecture?

Q 1 (ii) Answer the following questions:
a) Plot the graph showing the speed-up factor and optimal numbers of pipeline stages for a linear pipeline unit. What ae the pros & cons?
b) What are the differences between string reduction and graph reduction
machines?
c) What are the problems encountered in scaling up a computer to massively parallel systems?
d) What are the cahracteristics of CISC and RISC architectures?
