Single bus for data and instructions

Separation of data and instructions

What is the function of the Control Unit in a CPU?

Manage data flow and execute instructions

Which of the following is a key feature of the Harvard architecture, as opposed to Von Neumann architecture?

Uses separate memory for data and instructions

Uses the same memory for data and instructions

Which of the following best describes the main advantage of the Harvard architecture?

Separate memory allows faster processing

Shared memory between data and instructions

It simplifies programming tasks

The term 'bus' in computer systems refers to:

A communication pathway for transferring data

Which of the following is a benefit of using a chipset in a computer system?

Simplifies communication between CPU and peripherals

Provides more processing power than the CPU

Increases the speed of graphical rendering

What is the primary function of the CPU's clock?

Coordinate the timing of all computer operations

Measure time for the operating system

In the Von Neumann architecture, what limits the speed of data transfer?

The shared memory bus between data and instructions

The storage capacity of the system

Which of the following describes the function of the motherboard in a computer?

It houses the CPU, RAM, and other components, enabling communication between them

It powers the peripheral devices

In terms of processing, what is the role of cache memory?

It stores frequently accessed data for quick retrieval

It provides backup storage for RAM

It serves as the main storage for applications

Which of the following statements is true about Random Access Memory (RAM)?

It is a type of volatile memory

It is used for long-term storage

It retains data after the computer is turned off

It is slower than the hard drive

The main difference between RAM and ROM is that:

RAM is faster but requires power to hold data, while ROM stores data permanently

RAM is non-volatile, while ROM is volatile

RAM is only used for graphic processing, while ROM stores system files

RAM stores the operating system, while ROM is used for temporary files

Which of the following is a function of the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)?

Processes mathematical calculations and logical operations

To provide electrical power to the computer components

To process arithmetic calculations

What is a common disadvantage of the Von Neumann architecture?

Bottleneck caused by a single data bus

Complexity of software development

Which of the following describes an important feature of the Control Unit in a computer system?

It directs the flow of instructions and data within the CPU

It performs mathematical operations

Which of the following is a characteristic of volatile memory?

It loses data when the power is turned off

It retains data when the power is turned off

It is slower than non-volatile memory

It is used for long-term storage

In the context of computer architecture, what does the term 'fetch-execute cycle' refer to?

The cycle of retrieving instructions from memory and executing them in the CPU

The process of saving data to the hard drive

The method by which the operating system loads drivers

The cycle of transferring files from one location to another
