COA Assignment Questions

The document lists assignment questions for 5 units that cover topics in computer organization and architecture. Some of the key topics addressed include the design of adders, shifters, and bus systems using multiplexers; the implementation of logical operations and arithmetic/logic units; register transfer language; instruction formats and cycles; pipelining and hazards; I/O methods; and memory hierarchies including cache, virtual memory, and segmentation. The questions require explaining hardware components with diagrams and truth tables, as well as higher-level concepts related to instruction processing, addressing modes, and memory organization.
