2.1 Hardware Y1

What part of the Von Neumann architecture is represented by this symbol

RAM is located on the CPU.

• True

• False

An advantage of having a large amount of cache memory is:

• Cache memory is a lot cheaper than RAM

• cache memory stores the operating system and so speeds up access to it.

• Cache memory is memory that a CPU can

  access more quickly than it can access regular RAM.

• cache memory removes the need for virtual memory

cache memory is smaller than RAM

• True

• False

These components of the Von Neumann architecture are small, fast access temporary storage, typically addressed by mechanisms other than main memory.

• Control Unit

• Buses

• ALU

• Registers

This component of the Von Nuemann architecture manages the Fetch/decode/execute cycle.

which of these is not a main component of the Von Neumann architecture.

• cache memory

• graphics card

• buses

• arithmetic logic unit

Two or more processors working together to perform a single task simultaneously is called:

• multi processing

• parallel processing

• 2 x CPU

• processing

Tick all the operations that take part in the fetch part of the fetch execute cycle.

• the PC is incremented so that it holds the address of the next instruction

• the instruction is copied to the MDR

• The contents (instruction) in the MDR is copied and placed into the CIR.

• The address of the next instruction is copied from the PC to the MAR

CIR stands for:
