Consider an Ethernet segment with a transmission speed of $10^8$ bits/sec and a maximum segment length of 500 meters. If the speed of propagation of the signal in the medium is $2 \times 10^8$ meters/sec, then the minimum frame size (in bits) required for collision detection is _________
Consider a computer with a 4 MHz processor. Its DMA controller can transfer 8 bytes in 1 cycle from a device to main memory through cycle stealing at regular intervals. Which one of the following is the data transfer rate (in bits per second) of the DMA controller if 1% of the processor cycles are used for DMA?
An instruction format has the following structure:
Instruction Number: Opcode destination reg, source reg-1, source reg-2
Consider the following sequence of instructions to be executed in a pipelined processor:

A processor with 16 general purpose registers uses a 32-bit instruction format. The instruction format consists of an opcode field, an addressing mode field, two register operand fields, and a 16-bit scalar field. If 8 addressing modes are to be supported, the maximum number of unique opcodes possible for every addressing mode is _________
