Consider the following program segment for a hypothetical $$CPU$$ having three user registers $$R1,R2, $$ and $$R3.$$

Consider that the memory is byte addressable with word size $$32$$ bits, and the program has been loaded starting from memory location $$1000$$ (decimal). If an interrupt occurs while the $$CPU$$ has been halted after executing the HALT instruction, the return address (in decimal) saved in the stack will be

Which of the following addressing modes are suitable for program relocation at run time?
$$1.$$ Absolute addressing
$$2.$$ Based addressing
$$3.$$ Relative addressing
$$4.$$ Indirect addressing

A $$4$$-stage pipeline has the stage delays as $$150, 120,160$$ and $$140$$ nano seconds respectively. Registers that are used between the stages have a delay of $$5$$ nanoseconds each. Assuming constant clocking rate, the total time taken to process $$1000$$ data items on this pipeline will be

Consider a small two-way set-associative cache memory, consisting of four blocks. For choosing the block to be replaced, uses the least recently used $$(LRU)$$ scheme. The number of cache misses for the following sequence of blocks addresses is $$8,12,0,12,8$$
