Question 1.
What is the advantage of using multiple buses in a computer architecture?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how many operations can occur at the same time.
Question 2.
Define ALU.
Show hintHide hint
Consider what main operations a computer performs during computation.
3Question 3.
What is a major advantage of multiple bus architectures?
- Increased Hardware Cost
- Parallel Processing Capability
- Complexity Increase
Show hintHide hint
Think about the benefit of handling several tasks at once.
4Question 4.
True or False: Multiple buses always outperform single bus architectures in all operations.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the cases we've discussed.
Question 5.
Design a simple addition operation using R1 and R2 in both single and multiple bus architectures. Present the stages involved and compare the timing.
Show hintHide hint
Visualize the flow of data in each architecture.
Question 6.
Create a flowchart that reflects the instruction fetching process for both architectures using the instruction 'LOAD R1, M'. Identify where the timing might differ.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on instruction order to identify differences.
