You have a 4bit binary number. You wish to multiply it with decimal 24 using only combinational logic, with minimal adders.

2 Answers

one could store 2^4=16 lines of already made solutions in mem and get them in O(1) Less

24 decimal could be represented by: 16 + 8. Power of 2 multiplication could be done by shifting left. Therfore, we have: 24*X = 16*X + 8*X = X & "0000" + X & "000". In this solution we used one adder. Less

How can we use PRF to implement CMOV instruction?

1 Answers

Use valid bit. Make the destination valid if move is happening. Otherwise make the valid bit 0. Less

Design a FSM for outputting x/3 without the remainder.

1 Answers

3 states in the FSM: A: represent remainder = 0 B: represent remainder = 1 C: represent remainder = 2 in the transitaions between states we output each time '0' or '1' according to the remainder. Less

NVIDIA

the elements of leakage current and how u reduce each element

1 Answers

with current technologies for better performance there is decreased in threshold voltage which increase leakage current flowing through various parts of transistor like subthreshold current through channel and these are increasing worth low power applications as transistor size shrinks Less

did u always get 2nd chance in life

Design a full adder using only a special gate F= (not A)B+C Note: Do not use any type of gates except the special gate, we should not even use NOT gate while designing

1 Answers

first design OR,NOT,AND functions using special gate , then go with designing of a full adder Less

Marvell Technology

Do we need PC to index second level table of branch predictor (i.e. pattern history table)? Why? What if bits of PC more than bits to index to pattern history table?

1 Answers

Yes. Different branches may have same history but different prediction. Fold PC, i.e. xor higher bits of PC with lower bits of PC. Less
