2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the CPU stand for?
Think about the main processing component of a computer.
What is the purpose of the fetch-execute cycle?
Focus on the two main actions involved in program execution.
What does the fetch phase involve?
Think about what the CPU does first in the execution process.
True or False: The Accumulator is a part of the control unit in a CPU.
Remember the role of registers in the CPU's architecture.
If a system has an instruction that requires 10 clock cycles for fetching and 5 for execution at a frequency of 1.5 GHz, what is the total time taken to execute this instruction?
Remember to calculate the cycles first and translate them into seconds.
Consider a scenario where an instruction takes varying cycles: fetching takes 8, 3 for execution, and another instruction fetch takes 7. Calculate the total cycles and the execution time if the CPU runs at 3.0 GHz.
Calculate the total cycles first, then convert based on clock speed.
