    Aug 19, 2015 · Page-addressable, block-addressable? Bit-addressable, byte-addressable and word-addressable are the only terms I've seen use. It doesn't make much sense to address only units …

  3. What is the maximum directly adddressable memory capacity?

    Consider a 32-bit microprocessor composed of 2 fields: the first byte contains the opcode and remainder an immediate operand or an operand address. What is the maximum directly addressable memory …

  4. computer architecture - Advantage of byte addressable memory over …

    May 20, 2015 · With byte addressable memory and a 32 bit address you can have 4GB while with word addressable memory you can have 4GB * wordsize. Are single bytes used that much that you can't …

  5. Byte addressable vs Word addressable - Computer Science Stack …

    Sep 8, 2019 · 0 Word addressing means that, the number of lines in the address bus in the processor is lesser than the number of bits in the word itself. Lets say we have a 4 byte word. (32 bit address …

  6. How can memory size be 1M x 16? - Computer Science Stack Exchange

    Feb 24, 2017 · Bits in an addressable memory location - 16 in this example. Addressable memory locations - 1M = 2^20 in this example. CPU word size 1M = 2^20, while the max number of memory …

    1 Well, my question - if word addressable memory has more bytes than byte addressable memory - is derived from the fact that in word addressable memory each address addresses a word and in byte …

  8. How to calculate the number of tag, index and offset bits of different ...

    Let's assume the system is byte addressable. Then each cache block contains 8 words* (4 bytes/word)=32=2 5 bytes, so the offset is 5 bits. The index for a direct mapped cache is the number …
