ASSIGNMENTS

Computer Organization & Architecture

1. A program contains 1000 instructions. Out of that 25% instructions requires 4 clock
cycles,40% instructions require 5 clock cycles and remaining require 3 clock cycles for
execution. Find the total time required to execute the program running in a 1 GHz machine.
2. Convert the following pairs of decimal numbers to 8-bit 2’s-complement numbers, then
perform addition and subtraction on each pair.
(a) 9 and 4
(b) −12 and 9

Data Communication & Computer Networks

1. Suppose a computer sends a packet at the network layer to another computer somewhere in
the Internet. The logical destination address of the packet is corrupted. What happens to the
packet? How can the source computer be informed of the situation?
2. If the data link layer can detect errors between hops, why do you think we need another
checking mechanism at the transport layer?
3. Below is a routine table. Use it to answer the questions below

Compute for partial routine table for node B and node D

Calculate the shortest possible path to get F from A
