Assignment Description This an individual assignment. The assignment consists of four parts. The detailed description of each part is given in following sections. A. Computer Organisation and Architecture [10 Marks] 1. Explain Linear Tape-Open (LTO). Discuss its advantages and drawbacks. List any two current domains where LTO is used. 2. Why are interrupts used in a computer? Highlight the drawbacks of disabling interrupts? Give an appropriate example. B. Arithmetic & Logic Operations, and Electrical Primitives [30 Marks] 1. With a detailed step-by-step process, convert the following decimal numbers into binary, IEEE 754 and Hexadecimal formats. . -142.nn ii. 1/(m.25) (where nn represents last two digits of your MIT ID) (where m represents last digit of your MIT ID) 2. Construct the digital circuit with Logisim (or another online simulator) for following expression. The circuit has one output Q and three inputs A, B, and C. Also write the truth table. Q = ((AB) + C) ((A-B)+C)(A+B+C) Assignment Description This an individual assignment. The assignment consists of four parts. The detailed description of each part is given in following sections. A.
