ARCHITECTURE 10TH EDITION BY STALLING 2024-2025 JULY
UPDATE QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWER( SEE LAST
PAGE) | ALREADY GRADED A+
CHAPTER 2: PERFORMANCE ISSUES
TRUE OR FALSE
T F 1. Year by year the cost of computer systems continues to rise.
T F 2. Processors are so inexpensive that we now have microprocessors
we throw away.
T F 3. Workstation systems cannot support highly sophisticated
engineering and scientific applications.
T F 4. The IAS is the prototype of all subsequent general-purpose
computers.
T F 5. Cloud service providers use massive high-performance banks of
servers to satisfy high-volume, high-transaction-rate applications
for a broad spectrum of clients.
T F 6. The raw speed of the microprocessor will not achieve its potential
unless it is fed a constant stream of work to do in the form of
computer instructions.
T F 7. Superscalar execution is the same principle as seen in an assembly
line.
T F 8. Branch prediction potentially increases the amount of work
available for the processor to execute.
T F 9. Raw speed is far more important than how a processor performs
when executing a given application.
T F 10. The cache holds recently accessed data.
T F 11. Operations performed by a processor, such as fetching an
instruction, decoding the instruction, performing an arithmetic
operation, and so on, are governed by a system clock.
T F 12. A common measure of performance for a processor is the rate at
which instructions are executed, expressed as millions of
instructions per second (MIPS).
