Question 1.
What is the main advantage of multiple bus architectures over single bus architectures?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how multiple buses can connect to components.
Question 2.
What does a program counter do?
Show hintHide hint
Consider its role in fetching instructions.
3Question 3.
What is a key advantage of multiple bus architecture?
- More complexity
- Less speed

Show hintHide hint
Consider the nature of the operations that would benefit from parallelism.
Question 6.
Evaluate a scenario where a single bus architecture outperforms a multiple bus architecture despite its advantages.
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens when operations do not require high-speed processing.
