Are you looking for the old, previous years question papers of SRK Institute of Technology affiliated to JNT University, Kakinada? Here is an original paper called "Advanced Computer Architecture" for the Computer Science and Engineering department. This paper was asked in the B.Tech Examination 2011 for 1st semester regular exams. There are four set of question papers. The next 3 sets are given in the upcoming posts. This question paper is also very useful to all other colleges affiliated to JNT (Jawaharlal Nehru Technological) University, Kakinada. Have a under look to get the your desired question paper.
1. a) Differentiate between instruction set architecture Vs computer Architecture.
b) Discuss the important changes in implementation Technologies which a designer must be aware of for evolution of a computer.
c) How the performance of a processor is represented and what factors that influence the performance?
2. a) How branch hazards are dealt in pipe-lining?
b) Discuss three popular choices for encoding the instruction set.
3. a) Describe the use of simple compiler technology to enhance a processor ability in Exploiting ILP.
b) How loop unrolling improves the performance of ILP?
4. a) Name the cache performance techniques that can be used to improve hit time bandwidth, miss penalty and miss rate.
b) What is the affect of the following techniques on cache performance and substantiate.
i) Use of pipelined cache
