Question

Given the following 16 bit numbers: A.) 0x8FFF B.) 0x1000 C.) Ox00FO D.) 0x0888 E.) 0xC000 F) 0x9000 . If the numbers are unsigned integers rank them from smallest to larest )rank them from smallest to largest 10. If the above number are signed integers (2's complement 11Acomputer has a 16 bit address field,is byte addressable, the word length is also 16 bits, 32 lines of direct mapped cache and each line of cache holds 8 bytes. A.) How many bits are used for the line number? B.) How many bits are used for the tag field? C.) How many bits are used for the offset? 12.

Answer 1

Answer :- 9) The unsigned number order is-
0x00F0, 0x0888, 0x1000, 0x8FFF, 0x9000, 0xC000

Answer :- 10) The signed number order is-
0xC000, 0x9000, 0x8FFF, 0x00F0, 0x0888, 0x1000
Note if MSB is set, number is negative and rest of the bits defines the magnitude part.
