Assignments

Common assignment I (Prize money Rs.1000 and the title “THE INVENTOR”): I need a system(I/O unit, processor, memory)  for calling out the student name randomly for asking question in our class. Just you imagine a greeting card with music. Once I open it, it makes music. Similarly, I need a device when I press it, it must call out one of the names of your class member randomly. So you have to code it using the random function : which chooses the number randomly (0 to 53) and call out the corresponding name. So probably you have to feed an audio of the names of your classmates into it’s memory.

The inventor of this device can name this system and present me. The expenses will be returned back. The prize money will be given only if he/she could explain the working mechanism thoroughly. Prepare a report on the components needed, how you assembled it, how you coded it and its complete working mechanism (Mail to ra.cse@rmd.ac.in). The working mechanism will be taught to everyone and everyone will get a chance to create their own electronic goods (atleast at the basic level) and enjoy different applications for their need.

Common assignment II (Prize money Rs.100 and the title “THE BEST TECHNICAL ARTIST” and each participant will get 10 marks for internal exam I):

Very very interesting assignment. Draw the following in a neat paper with your creativity (sketch, crayons, color pencils, etc permitted). The best painting will be posted in the blog. Just always remember “you are the best; so you can do it”. You just either scan your work or take a snap with your mobile and paste it in a word document and mail me. Please learn and do it. The winner will be asked questions based on the diagram and only then the “THE BEST TECHNICAL ARTIST” title will be given. Make sure there are no errors in your diagrams, if so, you may lose it. I need the paintings for:
1) Draw the basic functional units of a computer 
2)    Basic Operational Concepts

         A)Draw the connections between processor and memory

          B)Draw the flow chart depicting the basic operational concepts of a computer

3) Draw the single bus structure

4) Write the equation for performance measurement and abbreviate each

5) Draw  the instruction cycle

6) Draw the floating point addition/subtraction unit

7)Draw the IEEE representation of floating point numbers(single and double precision)

8) The addressing modes in the tabular form

9) The different ISA architectures : Stack, Accumulator, Register-Register, Register-Memory

ALL THE BEST. Mail to ra.cse@rmd.ac.in
