Computer Architecture | MCQs

Explanation

Machine language is the lowest-level programming language, consisting of binary code that a computer's processor can execute directly. The basic components of a machine language program are:

• Instructions: These are the fundamental commands that a computer's processor can execute, such as move data, perform arithmetic operations, jump to a location, etc. Instructions are represented as binary codes, such as 0s and 1s.

Explanation

A microcomputer is a complete computer on a small scale, designed for use by one person at a time.

Explanation

When the CPU detects an interrupt:

• then it saves its  Current State 
• The processor responds by suspending its current activities
• saving its state
• and executing a function

Explanation

GPU a chip dedicated to performing 3D calculations.

Explanation

Explanation

Microcontrollers usually integrate all essential components but may not have a separate Memory Management Unit (MMU).

The MMU is often found in more complex systems, not typically in basic microcontrollers.

Explanation

The number of bits processed by the CPU as a unit is called Computer word

"Word size" refers to the number of bits processed by a computer's CPU in one go (these days, typically 32 bits or 64 bits).

Explanation

To compare numbers is the responsibility of the logical unit in the CPU of a computer.

A logical unit is a device or application program by which an end user (an application program, a terminal user, or an input/output mechanism) gains access to an SNA network.

Explanation

FORTRAN, in full Formula Translation, computer programming language created in 1957 by John Backus that shortened the process of programming and made computer programming more accessible.
