Draw side-by-side flow diagrams that show how the Little Man executes a store instruction and the corresponding CPU fetch-execute cycle. Explain the various parts of the diagram. Question 2 (30 points) – (a) (10 points) One large modern computer has a 48-bit memory address register. How much memory can this computer address? – (b) (10 points) One large modern computer has a 32-bit memory address register and instructions having 20 bits dedicated to addressing. How much memory can this computer address? – (c) (10 points) Why are there two different registers (MAR and MDR) associated with memory? What are the equivalents in the Little Man Computer? Question 3 (40 points) Describe modern computer architecture. You can discuss Intel, AMD, or arm-based CPUs found in mobile phones. At the minimum, the submission should have the following components. – Specify the maximum memory that the architecture can support, along with the cache size of one specific hardware. – Create a die diagram showing the major components of the CPU. – Describe any one assembly instruction of the architecture. Note: We looked at the M1 die diagram in class. Create something similar; the diagram does not need to have the die CPU photo.
