Question

Which are the five classic components of a computer? Computer architect divide processors based on design criteria of instruction sets into two broad categories: Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) and Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC). Choose all the following characteristics that are applicable to RISC processor. Variable-length instructions Fixed-length instructions Many instructions (typically, hundreds) Strives for a minimum instruction set Each instruction perform a basic computation Each instruction can perform an complex computation Based on the data of the last several years, which one of the following classes of the computers has the highest growth rate in terms of quantity Desktop computers. Servers Embedded computers A conventional programming language, such as Java or C. is classified as high level language (HLL). Corresponding to HLL. there are low-level languages (LLL). The most widely used Low-level language is known as assembly language. Choose all the following characteristics that are applicable to assembly language. Many -to-one translation: each statement corresponds to many machine instruction. One-to-one translation: each statement corresponds to one machine instruction. Hardware Dependence hardware Independence Do the following changes to a computer system increase throughput, decrease response time, or both? Replacing the processor in a computer with a faster version Adding additional processors to a system that uses multiple processors for separate for example, searching the web.
