Answers



231.
Answer :   (a)
Reason :   Bus system connect different component s whereas ALU performs arithmetic and logical calculations and memory register is for storage purpose.
232.
Answer :   (b)
Reason :   ROM portion of main memory is needed for storing an initial program is called Boot Strap Loader program. It will load operating system files from disk to main memory.
233.
Answer :   (e)
Reason :   The corresponding  between the main memory blocks and those in the cache is specified by a mapping function, because the basic characteristic of cache memory is fast access time. Therefore, very little or no time must be wasted when searching for words in the cache.
234.
Answer :   (c)
Reason :   A virtual memory system provides a mechanism for translating program generated address into correct main memory locations. This is done dynamically, while programs are being executed in the CPU. The translation or mapping is handled automatically by the hardware by means of a mapping table.
235.
Answer :   (b)
Reason :   Virtual memory is used to increase the apparent size of the main memory.
236.
Answer :   (a)
Reason :   The Bus master is allowed to initiate data transfer on the bus.
237.
Answer :   (e)
Reason :   Interrupt service routine  is executed in response to an interrupt  request.
238.
Answer :   (b)
Reason :   Serial interface transfers one bit at a time, whereas others can handle more than one bit.
239.
Answer :   (e)
Reason :   BSY is the selected target controller responds by asserting.
240.
Answer :   (a)
Reason :   Cycle Stealing is the technique allows the DMA controller to transfer 1 data word at a time, after which must return control of the buses to the CPU.
