Questão Responda
What is the function of the Memory Unit? The memory unit holds the data and the program that is processing that data. It is also known as RAM.
What is the function of the Control Unit? The Control Unit manages movement of data into and out of memory. It is a sequential processing machine, allowing only one program instruction to be executed at a time.
The Von Neumann Architecture allows a person to interact with the machine. What happens when a user enters a command? The values passed to and forth are stored in an internal memory location called a 'register.'
What is meant by 'ALU' and what are its functions? ALU stands for the Arithmetic Logic Unit in the Central Processing Unit. It carries out mathematical calculations and data comparisons.
What are 'buses'? A bus is where information passes through between components. An address bus identifies memory locations. A data bus moves data.
What does a Program Counter do? A Program Counter holds the address of the next program instruction.
What does an Instruction Register do? An Instruction Register holds the current program instruction to be executed.
What is the function of an MAR? The Memory Address Register holds the memory location (address) of the next data/program instruction to be fetched.
What is the function of the MDR? The Memory Data Register acts as a buffer to temporarily store data/a program instruction when its destination register it too busy to receive it. Sometimes called a Memory Buffer Register (MBR).
What is an MPR? A Multipurpose Register is a temporary store for data that can be used any time when the current program instruction needs it.
