Question 1.
What does a bus do in computer architecture?
Show hintHide hint
Think of it as a highway for data.
Question 2.
What is the role of the Program Counter?
Show hintHide hint
Consider it the reading guide for the CPU.
3Question 3.
What is one of the major benefits of a multiple bus architecture?
- More hardware complexity
- Faster instruction execution
- Less efficient use of resources
Show hintHide hint
Think about how many operations can happen simultaneously.
4Question 4.
True or False: A single bus architecture generally requires more control signals than a multiple bus architecture.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Compare the differences in data flow for each architecture.
Question 5.
Design a flowchart to illustrate the instruction fetch and execution process in a multiple bus architecture versus a single bus architecture. Highlight differences in control signals and register usage.
Show hintHide hint
Visual aids can help simplify complex processes.
Question 6.
Develop a comparative analysis explaining how having two registers can impact execution time in both architectures when performing repeated arithmetic operations.
Show hintHide hint
Consider time savings per operation between designs.
