COA Quiz 2 questions
and answers(graded
A+)
The control unit uses a __________________ to find the next instruction for
execution and a status register to keep track overflows, carries, borrows,
and the like. - answer Program Counter Register
These machine have a large number of instructions, of variable length,
with complex layouts. Many of these instructions are quite complicated,
performing multiple operations when a single instruction is executed. -
answer CISC
A collection of pre-defined machine codes, which the CPU is designed to
expect and be able to act upon when detected. - answer Instruction Set
A 12- bit register that holds the address of the next program instruction to
be executed. - answer Program Counter Register
A register which holds an instruction immediately preceding its execution.
- answer Instruction Register
The process of increasing the clock speeds and voltage of your CPU to
improve performance. It is a great way to get a little extra kick out of an
aging machine, or unlock a little more power out of a budget computer. -
answer Overclocking
(T/F) Every computer contains at least one clock that synchronizes the
activities of its components. - answer True
, (T/F) ISA translate instruction that are comprehensible to humans into the
machine language that is comprehensible to computers. - answer False
(T/F) The MARIE ISA consists of only thirty instruction. - answer False
(T/F) The fetch - decode - execute cycle is the series of steps that a
computer carries out when it runs a program. - answer True
a simple architecture consisting of memory (to store programs and data)
and a CPU (consisting of an ALU and several registers) - answer MARIE
(Machine Architecture that is Really Intuitive and Easy)
Exact sequence of microoperations that are carried out by an instruction
can be specified using _________________. - answer RTL
CPU part which monitors the execution of all instructions and the transfer
of all information. - answer Control Unit
It extracts instructions from memory, decodes these instructions, making
sure data is in the right place at the right time. - answer Control Unit
Bus type which determine the location of the source or destination of the
data. - answer Address Lines
Convey bits from one device to another. - answer Data Lines
CPU part which carries out logical and arithmetic operations as directed by
the control unit. - answer ALU (arithmetic logic unit)
Are used in computer systems as places to store a wide variety of data,
such as addresses, program counters, or data necessary for program
execution. - answer Registers
