COSC 3310 Digital Computer Organization Assignment 2

Problems

1. If a binary number is 111.011, what is the corresponding decimal value?

2. Here is a number represented in the IEEE standard single precision format

11010101010101000000000000000000

What is the decimal number represented by this string in the IEEE standard single precision floating point format?

3. Suppose a computer architecture allows for 32 bit addresses, how many memory cells can be addressed at most in this system? If memory is to be word-addressable (each cell is a word) and the architecture uses 32 bit words, how large is the memory space?
