(a) can be thought of as an algorithm implemented as an electronic device
What Principle is this?
"Anything that can be done with software can also be done with hardware, and anything that can be done with hardware can also be done with software."
(a)
At the most basic level, a computer is a device consisting of 3 pieces:
Processor
Memory
I/O Devices
Expansion Modules
The (a) is responsible for fetching the program instructions, decoding each instruction that is fetched, and performing the indicated sequence of operations on the correct data.
CPU acts like the “ (a) ” of a computer system. It contains the circuitry to interpret and execute program instructions.
The CPU can be divided into two pieces:
Datapath
ALU
Control Unit
Program Counter
Registers and arithmetic and logic units are connected by (a) (capable of moving data from place to place).
The timing of Registers, ALUs, and Buses are controlled by (a) .
The (a) is a module responsible for sequencing operations and making sure the correct data are where they need to be at the correct time.
The (a) does all mathematical operations (arithmetic) (+/-/compare) and logical (AND/OR) calculations.
Some computers have two ALUs to process two calculations simultaneously. That is called (a) technology.
ALUs contain several special storage units called (a) .
It is used to store intermediate values from calculations or instructions that is needed again immediately.
(a)
It is faster for ALU to access register than store the data in memory units.
True
False

The performance of a machine is directly affected by the design of the datapath and the control unit.
True
False
Is the storage space in the computer, where data is to be processed and instructions required for processing are stored.

Accumulator
The memory is divided into large number of small parts called (a) .
(a) holds only those data and instructions on which the computer is currently working.
Memory has a limited capacity and data is lost when power is switched off.
True
False
Primary memory is as fast as registers.
True
False
Memory is generally made up of (a) device.
(a) devices allow the computer system to interact with the outside world by moving data into and out of the system.
I/O devices are directly connected to an electronic module inside the systems unit called a (a) .
An (a) is used to bring data into the system.
An (a) is used to send data out of the system.
Which among the options are combined input/output devices.
Webcam
Touchscreen
External Hard Drive
USB Flash Drive
