Homework 1

22C:122, Spring 1998

Due Wednesday Jan 28, 1997, in class

Always, on every assignment, please write your name legibly as it appears on your University ID and on the class list!

This assignment is dominated by review questions that are not as much specific to the material in the book as they are to material you should have learned in prior courses or work experience.

1. What is your E-mail address? (If you have more than one, give the address you'd prefer used for class purposes.)

2. What are the absolute minimum requirements for a computer's instruction set in order for that instruction set to be judged complete? Write no more than one page on this topic!

3. Give a block diagram, at the processor-memory-switch level, of a very simple computer.
