Imp ACA questions (Very few)

Here are some ACA questions that might be considered as important!
All are 8-10 marks.

1. Explain hardware and software parallelism
2. Define following terms:
1. Grain sizes and latency
2. Memory latency
3. Synchronization latency
3. Explain different levels of parallelism on modern computers
4. Explain different types of program flow mechanism
5. Explain following terms:
1. Static network
2. Dynamic net
3. Node degree
4. Network diameter
5. Channel bisection width
6. Wire bisection width
6. How do u determine performance of the network
7. Explain different types of static network
8. Explain following Dynamic net:
1. digital buses
2. multistage buses
3. crossbar network

Chapter 4

1. Define following terms:
a) Instruction pipeline cycle
b) Instruction issue latency
c) Instruction issue rate
d) Simple operation latency
e) Resource conflicts

2. compare and contrast CISC and RISC processor
3. Explain the architectural model of basic scalar processor with neat diagram.
4. What is CISC scalar processor? Explain one typical CISC processor architecture.
5. Explain functional units and data parts of INTEL i860 RISC multiprocessor.
6. Explain the super scalar RISC processor architecture
7. Explain the VLIW processor and pipeline operation.
8. What is a bus? Explain the different parallel types of buses in parallel computers.
9. Explain the synchronous and asynchronous bus timing protocols.
10. What is arbitration .Explain the central and distributed arbitration?
11. What is memory interleaving? Explain two interleaved memory organization.
12. Explain diff types of memory allocation schemes

Small Change:
It is said that "Question 14" was changed today (22nd April '09). Since there is no question 14 in the list I recieved, we assumed its the 6th question under chapter 4 or the very last question.
Anyways, the new question is:
Explain pipelining in Superscalar processor of degree 3

Seminar material - Part II

For the seminar you might need a PDF to doc converter to convert the IEEE papers for your report.
Click here and download a setup.
It seems, there is some alignment problem. Will look at it.
(I used this one before. If a better one is found, it'll be uploaded soon)

More photos from the bulletin board to help you make your report(it if helps)
