📊 Computer Architecture
Q. The reserved memory or private space of the subroutine gets deallocated when
  • (A) the stop instruction is executed by the routine
  • (B) the pointer reaches the end of the space
  • (C) when the routine’s return statement is executed
  • (D) none of the mentioned
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (C) when the routine’s return statement is executed

Explanation: the work space allocated to a subroutine gets deallocated when the routine is completed.

📊 Computer Architecture
Q. The private space gets allocated to each subroutine when
  • (A) the first statement of the routine is executed
  • (B) when the context switch takes place
  • (C) when the routine gets called
  • (D) when the allocate instruction is executed
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (C) when the routine gets called

Explanation: when the call statement is executed, simultaneously space also gets allocated.

📊 Computer Architecture
Q. the most suitable data structure used to store the return addresses in the case of nested subroutines.
  • (A) heap
  • (B) stack
  • (C) queue
  • (D) list
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (B) stack

Explanation: none.

📊 Computer Architecture
Q. In the case of nested subroutines, the stack top is always
  • (A) the saved contents of the called sub routine
  • (B) the saved contents of the calling sub routine
  • (C) the return addresses of the called sub routine
  • (D) none of the mentioned
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (A) the saved contents of the called sub routine

Explanation: none.

📊 Computer Architecture
Q. The stack frame for each subroutine is present in
  • (A) main memory
  • (B) system heap
  • (C) processor stack
  • (D) none of the mentioned
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (C) processor stack

Explanation: the memory for the work space is allocated from the processor stack.

📊 Computer Architecture
Q. The data structure suitable for scheduling processes is
  • (A) list
  • (B) heap
  • (C) queue
  • (D) stack
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (C) queue

Explanation: the queue data structure is generally used for scheduling as it is two directional.

📊 Computer Architecture
Q. The sub-routine service procedure is similar to that of the interrupt service routine in
  • (A) method of context switch
  • (B) returning
  • (C) process execution
  • (D) method of context switch & process execution
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (D) method of context switch & process execution

Explanation: the subroutine service procedure is the same as the interrupt service routine in all aspects, except the

📊 Computer Architecture
Q. In memory-mapped I/O
  • (A) the i/o devices and the memory share the same address space
  • (B) the i/o devices have a separate address space
  • (C) the memory and i/o devices have an associated address space
  • (D) a part of the memory is specifically set aside for the i/o operation
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (A) the i/o devices and the memory share the same address space

Explanation: its the different modes of accessing the i/o devices.

📊 Computer Architecture
Q. The usual BUS structure used to connect the I/O devices is
  • (A) star bus structure
  • (B) multiple bus structure
  • (C) single bus structure
  • (D) node to node bus structure
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (C) single bus structure

Explanation: bus is a collection of address, control and data lines used to connect the various devices of the computer.

📊 Computer Architecture
Q. In intel’s IA-32 architecture there is a separate 16 bit address space for the I/O devices.
  • (A) false
  • (B) true
  • (C) ---
  • (D) ---
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (B) true

Explanation: this type of access is called as i/o mapped devices.
