Given a CPU clock speed of 10 MHz, what is the clock cycle duration in microseco

Question

Given a CPU clock speed of 10 MHz, what is the clock cycle duration in microseconds? Given a CPU clock cycle duration of 1/2 nanosec, what is he clock frequency? Between higher level languages, assembly languages and machine languages which one is the most abstract? (True/False) Machine language and assembly language have same number of instructions? Between an assembler, linker and loader, which tool results in getting the executable? Write the name and size of any one general purpose register in x64? What is the function of the special purpose register instruction pointer (RIP)? What is the difference between the following registers: RAX, EAX? What is a stack data structure in a computer memory?

Explanation / Answer

Question 23:
Given Clock speed = 10MHz
Then clock cycle duration = 1/clock speed
= 1/(10x106)= 5x10-9 seconds
= 10-7 seconds
= 0.1 micro seconds.
Question 24:
Given clock cycle duration = 0.5 nanoseconds
= 0.0005 Microseconds

Then frequency = 1/clock cycle = 1/0.0005
= 2000 Hz

Question 25:

Ans: Assembly level languages.

Question 26:

Ans: False.

Question 27:
Ans: Linker.

Question 32:

Stack is a type of data structure used to store objects. In stack objects are inserted and removed according to the last-in first-out (LIFO) principle.
Here mainly two operations, they are:

Push: insert the item into the stack.
pop : Remove the item out of the stack.
