Question 2.
Name one advantage of a multiple bus architecture.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how many operations can happen at once.
3Question 3.
What is a key advantage of a multiple bus architecture?
- Increased cost

Show hintHide hint
Think about how buses help in transferring data.
4Question 4.
True or False: A single bus architecture requires more control signals than a multiple bus architecture.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on how many paths each architecture has.
Question 5.
