    Vocabulary Exercises:

    Review Questions

    1. What is a CPU? What are its primary components?


    The CPU is the brain of a computer system. It fetches and executes instructions
    in a stored program and controls the movement of data between computer
    system components. The primary CPU components are the control unit,
    arithmetic logic unit (ALU), and registers.

    2. What are registers? What are their functions?


    Registers are storage locations in the CPU used to hold instructions and data
    temporarily that are needed immediately or frequently.

    3. What is main memory? How does it differ from registers?


    Main memory is a collection of storage locations, typically implemented with
    random access memory (RAM), that holds instructions and some or all of the
    data of currently running programs. Primary storage has more capacity than
    registers but is slower to access.

    4. What are the differences between primary and secondary storage?


    Primary storage is more volatile, faster, and more expensive than secondary
    storage. Because of its higher cost, its capacity is usually lower than in
    secondary storage. These differences determine differences in use—chiefly,
    primary storage supports ongoing CPU activity by storing instructions and
    data of currently running programs.

    5. What classes of computer systems are normally used for servers?


    Any computer class can be used for a server. The class depends on the number
    and type of resources and the number of simultaneous accesses to these
    resources.

    6. What characteristics differentiate application software from system software?
    Application software is special purpose—written to address specific needs of
    specific users. System software is general purpose—it provides support
    functions for many types of application processing tasks. System software also
    interacts directly with hardware, and application software does not.

    Part 2:

    1. An image file is 10MB in its size. How long does it take to download this file using a
    20 Mbps channel?
    We know 1 byte = 8 bits , 1MB = 2^20 B (over 1 million bytes), 1Mbps = 10^6 bps (1
    million bps)
    The formula to calculate downloading speed is:
    File Size in Megabytes / (Download Speed in Megabits / 8) = Time In Seconds
    So:
    (10*10^6*8)/(20*10^6) = 4 -> Time = 4 sec

    2. You can use ipconfig /all utility to find your home computer’s physical (MAC) address
    and IP address.
    MAC address: 08-71-90-DD-19-04
    IP address: 192.168.0.104

    (1) Convert your computer’s physical address (or MAC address) to 48-bit binary.
    48-Bit-Binary: 0000 1000-0111 0001-1001 0000-1101 1101-0001 1001-0000 0100

    (2) Convert your computer’s IP address to 32-bit binary. Each decimal number
    corresponds to a byte address.
    32-Bit-Binary: 1100 0000-1010 1000-0000 0000-0110 1000

    (3) How many usable IP addresses your home network has?


    The subnet mask is: 255.255.255.0

    28 = 256 – 2 unique identifiers= 254 available addresses.

    3. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) is a common spread spectrum transmission


    technique used in wireless communications. Before data transmission, a particular
    sequence of 1s and 0s called barker code is added to the original data using bitwise
    operation of XOR. If the 16- bit data to be sent is a Hex decimal value 5100 and the
    barker code is 5100 in decimal, what is the transmitted data (i.e., the result of XOR) in
    binary bits?

    5100 Hexadecimal to Binary -> 0101 0001 0000 0000

    2
    5100 Decimal to Binary:

    5100/2 = 2550, Remainder is 0


    2550/2 = 1275, Remainder is 0
    1275/2 = 637, Remainder is 1
    637/2 = 318, Remainder is 1
    318/2 = 159, Remainder is 0
    159/2 = 79, Remainder is 1
    79/2 = 39, Remainder is 1
    39/2 = 19, Remainder is 1
    19/2 = 9, Remainder is 1
    9/2 = 4, Remainder is 1
    4/2 = 2, Remainder is 0
    2/2 = 1, Remainder is 0
    1/2 = 0, Remainder is 1

    So 5100 Decimal to Binary -> 0001 0011 1110 1100

    0101 0001 0000 0000


    0001 0011 1110 1100
    XOR-> 0100 0010 1110 1100

    4. A computer uses base-6 numbering system for computing. Convert the base-6 number
    12345 to decimal.

    (5*6^0)+(4*6^1)+(3*6^2)+(2*6^3)+(1*6^4) = 5+24+108+432+1296=1865

    Decimal is 1865.

    5. Using the powers of each digit in base 8, convert the decimal number 6026 to octal.

    6026/8=753 -> Remainder=2


    753/8=94 -> Remainder=1
    94/8=11 -> Remainder=6
    11/8=1 -> Remainder=3
    1/8=0 -> Remainder=1

    Octal is 13612.

    6. There are two Hexadecimal numbers 510 and F1. The computer performs the
    addition and multiplication of these two numbers. What are the results? Give the
    computing details.

    510 in Hexadecimal to Binary -> 0101 0001 0000


    F1 in Hexadecimal to Binary -> 0000 1111 0001
    3
    Addition -> 0101 0001 0000
    0000 1111 0001
    _________________
    0110 0000 0001 in Binary -> 601 in hexadecimal
    Or
    510
    + F1
    _______
    601

    Multiplication -> 510


    x F1
    ______
    510
    + 4BF00 -> F*5 = (15*5) in decimal = 75, 75/16=4 , Remainder=11
    which is B in Hexadecimal
    _______
    4C410
