Consider a hypothetical computer system. A 12-bit memory space
is used for a sign-and-magnitude representation of integers with
BCD
and the sign is stored in MSB. What is the range of signed integers
in base 10 that can be represented?
For 12 bit , the 12th bit is sign bit , so the range of signed integers of base 10 will be from -2047 to 2047 (211 -1=2047)
Thank you for the Question :)

Floating Point Representation Consider a computer that stores information using 10 bits words. The first bit is for the sign of the number, the next 5 for the sign and magnitude of the exponent and the last 4 for the magnitude of the mantissa. The mantissa is normalized as described in class and in the textbook. a. Convert 1 00010 1001 to a base-10 system b. What is the highest number that can be stored on this computer? c. What...
For a hypothetical 7-bit decimal (Base-10) computer which uses 1 bit for sign of exponent, 1 bit for magnitude of exponent, 1 bit for sign of mantissa and 4 bits for magnitude of mantissa, determine the largest and smallest numbers that can be represented.

A computer system has a 20-bit address bus and can address an 8-bit wide memory. The memory of this computer system contains 64 Kbytes of ROM and 256 Kbytes of RAM. The ROM and RAM form a contiguous block of memory starting at address 0. What is the maximum number of addressable memory locations can this computer system address? Give your answer in power of 2. Draw a memory map for the computer system. Indicate the starting and ending addresses...
given 5A16 & 9D16, if 8-bit sign-magnitude represent used to represents integers, what the range of decimal values it represents?
Problem 5 (20 points) Consider a floating point number representation that is 16 bit wide. The leftmost bit is the sign bit, and the next 5 bits from the left make up an exponent (which has a bias of 15). The remainder 10 bits give the magnitude of the number. This representation assumes a hidden 1. Consider the number -1.3215 x 10-1 How doe its rine and acrac cmpare wit a he same number, this time b) How does its...
