18) Assume that we are receiving a message across a network using a modem with a rate of 56,000 bits/ second. Furthermore, assume that we are working on a workstation with an instruction rate of 500 MIPS. How many instructions can the processor execute between the receipt of each individual bit of the message? 19) Consider the following structure of the instruction register. op code address-1 address-2 6 bits 18 bits 18 bits a. What is the maximum number of distinct operation codes that can be recognized and executed by the processor on this machine? b. What is the maximum memory size on this machine? c. How many bytes are required for each operation?
