Consider the following instruction: AND( %1111_0000, AL ) ; After its execution, what will be true about the bits stored in AL?

Describe in pseudocode an algorithm that given an integer n and a linked list of elements increases the linked list by a factor of n by replacing each element in the original list with n copies of that element. for example, if l: [18, 7, 4, 24, 11] and n = 3 the resulting list should be l: [18, 18, 18, 7, 7, 7, 4, 4, 4, 24, 24, 24, 11, 11, 11]. if the value of n is less than or equal to 0, the list should be empty after the call. what’s the running time of your algorithm?

Consider a direct-mapped cache with 216 words in main memory. the cache has 16 blocks of 8 words each. it is a word-addressable computer (rather than a byte-addressable computer which we normally discuss). (a) how many blocks of main memory are there? (b) what is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache, that is, what are the sizes of the tag, cache block, and block offset fields (if they apply)? (c) to which cache block will the memory reference db6316 map?
