1.1 Systems Architecture

CPU stands for:

• Control processing unit

• Centralised process unit

• Central process unified

• Central processing unit

The processor...

• Executes out instructions

• Is main memory

• Is secondary storage

• Is an input device

A desktop computer would usually consist of:

• Input/Output/CPU/Main memory

• CPU/Main memory/Secondary storage

• Input/Output/CPU/Main memory/Secondary storage

• CPU/Main memory/Secondary storage

This is a primary storage:

• CPU

• GPU

• Pen Drive

• RAM

The Processor doesn’t do the following:

• Process data

• Execute instructions

• Display data

• Operate in Hz

The processor is often made up of multiple what?

• Cores

• Centres

• Executions

• Instruction centres

What acts as temporary storage between the processor and the main memory?

• Bus

• User

• Cache

• Clock

What is held in cache?

• All the programming instructions

• Frequently used instructions and data

• Instructions that have been processed

• Data that hasn’t been used for a long time

This would perform an operation such as 5+8?

• Accumulator

• Arithmetic Logic Unit

• Cache

• Control Unit

What is held in ROM?

• Data currently in use

• Bootstrap loader

• Instructions frequently used
