A digital computer has a memory unit with 32 bits per word. The instruction set consists of 200 different operations. All instructions have an operation code part (opcode) and two address fields: one for a memory address and one for a register address. This particular system includes 120 general-purpose, user-addressable registers. Each instruction is stored in one word of memory. a. How many bits are needed for the opcode? Explain your answer. b. How many bits are needed to specify the register? Explain your answer. c. How many bits are left for the memory address part of the instruction? Explain your answer. d. What is the maximum allowable size for memory? Explain your answer. e. What is the largest unsigned binary number that can be accommodated in one word of memory?
