INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEM FUNDAMENTALS

Computer Science is mainly the study of:

• Computers

• Programming Languages

• Computation

• Internet

Computation is achieved by executing a:

• Machine

• Program

• Database

• System

A program is a set of:

• Equations

• Instructions

• Data structures

• Algorithms only

In Computer Science, a machine is:

• Any mechanical tool

• A type of software

• A device that can perform logical operations

• A server only

Computation involves:

• Performing music

• Performing calculations or operations

• Storing files only

• Building hardware

Programs are formed by combining:

• Hardware and software

• Database and compiler

• Algorithms and data structures

• Processors and memory

Which of the following is NOT a program component?

• Algorithm

• Compiler

• Data structure

• Programming language

A computing machine is essentially a:

• Database

• Computer system

• Software library

• Router

SISD architecture means:

• Single Instruction, Single Data

• Single Instruction, Shared Data

• Single Information, Single Device

• Simple Instruction, Simple Data

SIMD architecture applies:

• Multiple instructions to multiple data

• One instruction to many data elements

• One instruction to one data element

• Many instructions to one data element
