Consider how data moves in sequence.
What is the primary advantage of multiple bus architecture over a single bus architecture?
Think about how tasks can be completed at the same time.
True or False: In a multi-bus architecture, the number of control signals typically increases.
Consider how many instructions are processed simultaneously.
Design a CPU architecture that utilizes a three-bus system. Describe how data flows between the registers and memory. What components would you include and what advantages does this design offer?
