Memory Addressing Principles Quiz

What is Direct Addressing?

• The instruction itself contains the value to be used.

• The instruction contains the address where the value is located.

• The instruction gives an address that points to another address.

• The instruction includes a base address and an index.

What is Immediate Addressing?

• The instruction itself contains the value to be used.

• The instruction contains the address where the value is located.

• The instruction gives an address that points to another address.

• The instruction includes a base address and an index.

What is Indirect Addressing?

• The instruction itself contains the value to be used.

• The instruction contains the address where the value is located.

• The instruction gives an address that points to another address.

• The instruction includes a base address and an index.

What is Indexed Addressing?

• The instruction itself contains the value to be used.

• The instruction contains the address where the value is located.

• The instruction gives an address that points to another address.

• The instruction includes a base address and an index.

What is the Von Neumann Architecture?

• A computer design model that uses a single memory system to store both programs and data.

• A model that separates programs and data into different memory spaces.

• A type of computer that does not require a CPU.

• An architecture that only uses RAM for storage.

What are the key components of the Von Neumann Architecture?

• CPU, Memory, Storage, Input/Output Devices

• CPU, GPU, RAM, Hard Drive

• Motherboard, Power Supply, RAM, SSD

• Input Devices, Output Devices, Network Card, CPU

How does the CPU fetch instructions and data?

• From the same memory (RAM)

• From separate memory spaces

• From the hard drive only

• From the input devices

What is a Virtual Machine (VM)?

• A software-based emulation of a physical computer.

• A type of hardware that enhances computer performance.

• A program that only runs on Linux.

• A physical computer that cannot run an OS.

What is the role of a hypervisor?

• To create and manage virtual machines.

• To enhance the CPU's performance.

• To store data permanently.

• To connect input devices to the computer.

What are the benefits of using Virtual Machines?

• Isolation, Resource Efficiency, Flexibility, Security

• Increased hardware costs, Limited software options

• Slower performance, Less security

• More physical space required
