Show hintHide hint
Think about how instructions are sequenced.
Question 2.
Name the three buses in the Three Bus Architecture.
Show hintHide hint
Recall the titles of the buses mentioned.
3Question 3.
What is the main advantage of a Three Bus Architecture over a single bus?
- Increased number of registers
- Allows simultaneous data movement
- Requires more temporary registers
Show hintHide hint
Think about how bus systems interact.
4Question 4.
True or False: The ALU only takes inputs from bus C.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Review which buses the ALU interacts with.
Question 5.
Using the Three Bus Architecture, describe how an instruction sequence would be executed more efficiently compared to the single bus architecture.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the number of action cycles for completion.
Question 6.
Assuming a scenario where the ALU processes two operations simultaneously, outline how each bus would function during this process.
Show hintHide hint
Think about input/output passages and timing.
