A device with data transfer rate $$10$$ $$KB/sec$$ is connected to a $$CPU.$$ Data is transferred byte-wise. Let the interrupt overhead be $$4$$ $$\mu \sec $$. The byte transfer time between the device interface register and $$CPU$$ or memory is negligible. What is the minimum performance gain of operating the device under interrupt mode over operating it under program controlIed mode?

$$15$$
B
$$25$$
C

Consider the disk drive with the following specifications $$16$$ surfaces, $$512$$ tracks/surface, $$512$$ sectors/track, $$1$$ $$KB/sector$$, rotation speed $$3000$$ $$rpm.$$ The disk is operated in cycle stealing mode whereby whenever one byte word is ready it is sent to memory; similarly, for writing, the disk interface reads a $$4$$ byte word from the memory in each $$DMA$$ cycle. Memory cycle time is $$40$$ $$nsec$$. The maximum percentage of time that the $$CPU$$ gets blocked during $$DMA$$ operation is
A
$$10$$
B
$$25$$
C
$$40$$
D
$$50$$

Consider the following data path of a $$CPU$$ GATE CSE 2005 Computer Organization - Alu Data Path and Control Unit Question 4 English

The, $$ALU$$, the bus and all the registers in the data path are of identical size. All operations including incrementation of the $$PC$$ and the $$GPRs$$ are to be carried out in the $$ALU.$$ Two clock cycle are needed for memory read operation-the first one for loading address in the $$MAR$$ and the next one for loading data from the memory but into the $$MDR.$$

The instruction $$''add$$ $$R0$$, $$R1''$$ has the register transfer interpretation $$R0 < = R0 + R1.$$ The minimum number of cycles needed for execution cycle of this instruction is

A
$$2$$
B
$$3$$
C
$$4$$
D
$$5$$

All operations including incrementation of the $$PC$$ and the $$GPRs$$ are to be carried out in the $$ALU.$$ Two clock cycle are needed for memory read operation-the first one for loading address in the $$MAR$$ and the next one for loading data from the memory but into the $$MDR.$$

The instruction $$''call$$ $$Rn,sub''$$ is a two word instruction. Assuming that $$PC$$ is incremented during the fetch cycle of the first word of the instruction, its register transfer interpretation is $$$\eqalign{ & Rn < = PC + 1; \cr & PC < = M\left[ {PC} \right]; \cr} $$$
The minimum number of $$CPU$$ clock cycles needed during the execution cycle of this instruction is :

A
$$2$$
B
$$3$$
C

D
$$5$$
