Module 01 - CAO

Registers are primarily used for:

• Long-term data storage

• Arithmetic calculations only

• Temporarily storing data and instructions

• Managing external I/O devices

What is the purpose of the Program Counter (PC)?

• To store the result of an operation

• To hold the address of the next instruction

• To store program code

• To store data read from memory

A register file is:

• A file stored in the operating system

• A group of memory locations

• A list of hardware devices

• A collection of registers within the CPU

Which component is responsible for executing arithmetic and logical operations?

• Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)

• Input Unit

• Control Unit

• Memory Unit

The interconnection of components like CPU, memory, and I/O devices is typically done using:

• Binary Trees

• System Clock

• Buses

• Registers

The IAS computer was one of the earliest examples of:

• Microprocessors

• Parallel processing systems

• Wireless computing systems

• Stored-program architecture

Who is credited with the design of the IAS computer?

• Alan Turing

• Steve Wozniak

• Dennis Ritchie

• John von Neumann

In von Neumann architecture, both data and instructions are stored in:

• Same memory

• Cache

• Registers

• Separate memories

The main drawback of von Neumann architecture is called:

• Harvard problem

• Memory leak

• Instruction overflow

• Von Neumann bottleneck

Which architecture uses separate memory and buses for instructions and data?

• von Neumann Architecture

• IAS Architecture

• Unified Architecture

• Harvard Architecture
