It carries out the calculations in the CPU.
Stores currently used data close to the CPU so instructions can be fetched faster.
Controls the movement of data around the CPU during the fetch-decode-execute cycle.
What is the job of the cache?
It carries out the calculations in the CPU.
Stores currently used data close to the CPU so instructions can be fetched faster.
Controls the movement of data around the CPU during the fetch-decode-execute cycle.
What is the job of the arithmetic logic unit?
It carries out the calculations in the CPU.
Stores currently used data close to the CPU so instructions can be fetched faster.
Controls the movement of data around the CPU during the fetch-decode-execute cycle.
What happens at the decode step of the fetch-decode-execute cycle?
The higher the clock speed the more instructions are processed at the same time.
The higher the clock speed the more fetch-decode-execute cycles it can perform per second.
It will make loading program slower.
By being able to carry out more calculations in a period of time.
By being able to store more recently used instruction inside the CPU for quicker access times.
By not needing to use the RAM to store any data or instructions.
