Question 1.
What does DMA stand for?
Show hintHide hint
It's about how data is accessed in computing.
Question 2.
What is one primary benefit of using DMA?
Show hintHide hint
Think about CPU efficiency.
3Question 3.
What is the primary advantage of Direct Memory Access?
- A) It uses more CPU resources.
- B) It allows faster data transfer.
- C) It transfers data only through the CPU.
Show hintHide hint
Think about speed and efficiency.
4Question 4.
True or False: DMA requires the CPU to manage every data transfer.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the role of the CPU in DMA.
Question 5.
Design a DMA system for a multimedia application that streams video data. Consider data throughput requirements, types of I/O devices involved, and the necessary controller setup.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on optimizing data flow and managing resource constraints.
Question 6.
Analyze the impact of DMA on CPU performance in a system handling large file transfers versus a system using interrupt-driven I/O.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how CPU resources are allocated during different processes.
