Q1. What is difference
engine? Briefly explain the structure of Babbage’s Difference Engine. 4+6 = 10

difference engine was designed to calculate the entries of a table
automatically and transfer them via steel punches to an engineer’s plate from
which the tables could be printed. The only arithmetic operation performed by
this machine was addition. However using a mathematical technique called method
of finite difference, a large number of
Q2. What is the

the Read-Write cycles. Read Cycle is Data Transfer from Memory or Input/output
(I/O) to CPU.
Q5. Briefly explain
Interrupt Driven I/O. 10
Answer: Interrupt Driven I/O
Using
Program-controlled I/O requires continuous involvement of the processor in the
I/O activities. It is desirable to avoid wasting processor execution time. An
alternative is for the CPU to issue an I/O command to a module and then go on
other work. The I/O module will then
Q6. Describe
Multiprocessing. Briefly explain its system. 5+5= 10
Answer: Multiprocessing
