Homework 4

Assigned Nov. 26, due Dec. 11

Problems from Appendix C (sequential circuits)

• Exercises C.37 and C.38 on a simple state machine.
• Exercises C.39 and C.40 on counter circuits. (Where problem C.40 says "a PLA", just build the thing in LogiSim.)

Problems from Chapter 4 (sequential circuits for processor design)

• Exercises 4.5.1 through 4.5.6 on sequential circuits for arithmetic (use row a)
• Exercises 4.12.1 through 4.12.3 on cycle times in pipelined vs. non-pipelined processors (use row a)

Problems from Chapter 5 (caching and virtual memory)

• Exercises 5.3.1 through 5.3.3 on direct-mapped caches (use row a)
• Exercises 5.10.1 through 5.10.3 on virtual memory page tables (use row a)
• Exercises 5.13.1 through 5.13.3 on virtual memory and virtual machines
