5. Assume a computer has a physical memory organized into 64-bit words. Give the word address and offset within the word for each of the following byte addresses: 0, 9, 27, 31,120, and 256.

6. Extend the above exercise by writing a computer program that computes the answer. The program should take a series of inputs that each consist of two values: a word size specified in bits and a byte address. For each input, the program should generate a word address and offset within the word. Note: although it is specified in bits, the word size must be a power of two bytes.

Explanation:

5.

To convert any byte address, By, to word address, Wo, first divide By by No, the no. of bytes/word, and ignores the remainder. To calculate a byte offset, O, in word, calculate the remainder of By divided by No.

i) 0 : word address = 0/8 = 0 and offset, O = 0 mod 8 = 0

ii) 9 : word address = 9/8 = 1 and offset, O = 9 mod 8 = 1

iii) 27 : word address = 27/8 = 3 and offset, O = 27 mod 8 = 3

iv) 31 : word address = 31/8 = 3 and offset, O = 31 mod 8 = 7

v) 120 : word address = 120/8 = 15 and offset, O = 120 mod 8 = 0

vi) 256 :word address = 256/8 = 32 and offset, O = 256 mod 8 = 0
