This document is an exam for the course Computer Organization & Architecture. It contains 11 questions across 5 sections. The questions cover topics like the function of the program counter, control logic for accumulators, converting infix to postfix notation, memory hierarchy, adder-subtractors, selective set/clear operations, addressing modes, data transfer instructions, register stack operations, floating point addition/subtraction pipelines, strobe control for data transfer, asynchronous communication interfaces, direct mapped cache address translation, and logical to physical memory mapping. Students must answer all questions in one place within the allotted time of 2 hours.
