The processor contains a single data register, called

1

Which register contains the instruction most recently fetched?

1

This register specifies the location in memory for the next read or write

1

Which of the following element of a computer system moves data between the computer and its external environment?

1

This main disadvantage of this technique: consumes a lot of processor time, because every word of data that goes from memory to I/O module or from I/O module to memory must pass through the processor

1

The processor issues an I/O command to a separate module, by sending the type of operation (read/write), the address of the I/O device, the starting location in memory for data, number of words. Then the processor continues with other work. The module transfers the entire block of data to/from memory without going through the processor. The described technique is:

1

The processor issues an I/O command to a module and waits, periodically checking the status of the I/O module until it finds that the operation is complete.
The I/O module performs the requested action and then sets the appropriate bits in the I/O status register but takes no further action to alert the processor.
The described technique is:

1

The processor is executing "Load AC from memory" instruction. Choose the correct micro-instruction:

1

If there no interrupts, after each write operation, the processor must:

Complete the relationship concerning the memory systems: greater capacity

1

User-visible registers minimize main memory references by optimizing register use

1

This register contains the data to be written into memory or which receives the data read from memory

1

Which of the following element of a computer system controls the operation of the computer and performs its data processing functions?

1

The main disadvantages of this technique: there is a competition for bus usage

1

At the beginning of each instruction cycle, the processor fetches an instruction from the memory. The address of the instruction is held in

When the time required for the I/O operation is less that the time to complete the execution of instructions between write operations in the user program, it is:

This type of memory is nonvolatile:

If the contents of a block in the cache are altered, then it is needed to save it back to main memory before replacing it. This is called:

The main disadvantage of this technique: it is a time-consuming process that keeps the processor busy needlessly

This type of system was developed at MIT by a group known as Project MAC for the IBM 709 in 1961

The concept of codes of operation (user mode, system mode) was introduced with

Short-term scheduler, or dispatcher, picks a process. Each process in the queue is given some time in turn. This strategy is called:

Central idea in this system was the use of piece of software known as the monitor:

'More than one program attempts to make use of a shared resource at the same time'. This is

The term was first used by the designers of Multics in 1960s:

"When program shares memory and their execution is interleaved by the processor, they may interfere with each other by overwriting common memory areas in unpredictable ways. The result of a particular program depend on the activities of other programs in shared systems".
