COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE EXAM
2025/2026 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
100% PASS
Computer Architecture - ANS discipline describing the functionality, organization, and
implementation of computer systems
Computer Engineering - ANS discipline utilizing electrical engineering and computer science
to develop computer hardware and software
Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) - ANS the part of computer architecture related to
programming, native data types, instructions, registers, addressing modes, memory
architecture, interrupt and exception handling, and external I/O
Microarchitecture - ANS is the way a given instruction set architecture (ISA) is implemented
on a processor
Computer Cluster - ANS consists of a set of loosely or tightly connected computers that work
together so that, in many respects, they can be viewed as a single system
Non-uniform memory access (NUMA) - ANS is a computer memory design used in
multiprocessing, where the memory access time depends on the memory location relative to
the processor

, Emulator - ANS hardware or software that enables one computer system (called the host) to
behave like another computer system (called the guest)
Compiler - ANS a computer program (or set of programs) that transforms source code
written in a programming language (the source language) into another computer language (the
target language, often having a binary form known as object code)
Machine Code - ANS a set of instructions executed directly by a computer's central
processing unit (CPU)
Central Processing Unit (CPU) - ANS the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries
out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control
and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions
Assembly Language - ANS a low-level programming language for a computer, or other
programmable device, in which there is a very strong (generally one-to-one) correspondence
between the language and the architecture's machine code instructions
Word - ANS a term for the natural unit of data used by a particular processor design
Addressing Mode - ANS an aspect of the instruction set architecture in most central
processing unit (CPU) designs
Processor Register - ANS a small amount of storage available as part of a digital processor,
such as a central processing unit (CPU)
CPU Cache - ANS a cache used by the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer to reduce
the average time to access data from the main memory
