Intro to OS Mod 3 CPU
Address bus - answer Carries address signals to indicate where data should be read
from or written to in the system's memory.
Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) Processors - answer are RISC processors commonly
used in mobile devices and heavily used in embedded systems such as laptops and
even servers.
Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) - answer Performs the primary task of any CPU, to execute
instructions whether arithmetic instructions, logic instructions, etc.
Assembler - answer Turns assembly code into numeric values (opcodes) that the CPU
can understand.
Bus - answer A path/channel between a computer's CPU and the devices it manages
like memory and I/o devices.
Cache Controller - answer Specialized piece of hardware predicts what data will be
needed and makes it available in cache before it is needed.
Cache Memory - answerWorks by providing extremely fast access to data so the CPU
doesn't always have to wait to access RAM.
Compiler - answerA computer program that takes a high-level language like C++ or java
and turns it into assembly code that is executed by CPU.
Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) - answerGenerally more complex and
supports many different and complex machine code instructions.
Control Bus - answerCarries status signals between the CPU and other devices.
Control Unit (CU) - answerDirector of operations in the CPU, provides timing and
coordination between the other parts of the CPU such as arithmetic logic unit, registers,
etc.
Core - answerThe part of a CPU that reads and executes machine code, i.e reading and
writing data from/to memory or executing an arithmetic operation.
Data bus - answerCarries the actual data that is being read from or written to system
memory.
