Is memory size written in KB?

1 Answer

Answer :

It could be, but many modern computers have 8GB or more, that is 8 million KB!The amount of memory a given computer may have could be written in B, KB, MB, GB, etc. by using the appropriate binary-metric prefix.Examples:128B the internal RAM of a simple microcrontoller64KB the typical memory of an early 1980s microcomputer2.7MB the amount of memory required to save a photo12GB memory of a modern laptop computer256GB memory of a modern supercomputeretc.However prior to 1964 when IBM released their line of System 360 computers and defined the byte as being 8 bits, memory size was measured in many different units:words, used on "scientific" computers (most were binary, but a few were decimal). Typical word sizes varied from about 36 bits to 60 bits (on decimal computer words varied from about 10 digits to 18 digits) with memory sizes typically ranging from 1K words to 32K words.characters or digits, used on "business" computers. These systems were all decimal, characters were usually 6 bits + 1 parity bit (7 bits), digits were usually 4 bits + 1 parity bit (5 bits) with memory sizes typically ranging from 20K characters/digits to 100K characters/digits. Many business computers had variable "word" size.

Description : The virtual address generated by a CPU is 32 bits. The Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) can hold total 64 page table entries and a 4-way set associative (i.e. with 4- cache lines in the set). The page size is 4 KB. The minimum size of TLB tag is (A) 12 bits (B) 15 bits (C) 16 bits (D) 20 bits

Last Answer : (C) 16 bits Explanation: VirtualAddress = 32 bits PageSize = 4KB = 12 bits therefore : VPNTag = 20 bits, OffsetTag = 12 bits TLBEntryLength = VPNTag = 20 bits TotalTLBEntries = 64, 4-way implies ... therefore : TLBIndex = 4 bits TLBTag = TLBEntryLength - TLBIndex = 20 - 4 = 16 bits
