- When a computer processor has many instructions running at the same time, how can it avoid wasting computation cycles that it would otherwise spend if it were simply performing one instruction? It should be indicated what occurred as a direct result of what they did in the prior phrase.arrow_forwardconstruct the program for our imaginary computer! There must be made of at least 5 instructions There should be at least 3 different types of instructions (write, move, decrement, add, or)arrow_forwardMatch the vocabulary below with their correct definitions: the portion of an encoded instruction that tells the CPU what operation to perform a single operation of the CPU a value passed to a function in a high-level language a value that the CPU operates on when executing an instruction 1. Argument 2. Instruction 3. Opcode 4. Operand 5. Parameter 6. Prototypearrow_forward
- Which of the following are phases of the CPU processing cycle Fetch the instruction Execute the instruction Decode the instruction Invert the instruction Operate on the instructionarrow_forwardThe program counter (PC) is A A CPU register that indicates the address of the instruction currently being executed. B A CPU register that indicates the address of the next instruction in a program. C A CPU register which stores the state of a process D A CPU register that signals a change of contextarrow_forwardWhat are the fundamental operations performed by an ALU, and how are they executed within the CPU?arrow_forward
- In this classification, instructions are executed independently of one another's data sources. a(n): A Multiple Data Multiple Instruction B Multiple Data Multiple Instruction C Single Data Individual Instruction D Simultaneous Inarrow_forwardComputer Architecture (Already submit this question, but I think I got wrong solution) Consider a computer that has a number of registers such that the three registers R0 =1500, R1 = 4500, and R2 = 1000 Show the effective address of memory and the registers’ contents in each of the following instructions 1. ADD (R1), R2 2. MOVE 500(R0), R2 3. ADD (40), R1 4. SUBTRACT (5000), R2 5. ADD #30, R2arrow_forwardHow is it possible for a computer processor to avoid waste calculation cycles while concurrently processing a large number of instructions? Describe what happened as a direct consequence of the actions that they took.arrow_forward
- Explain how the basic instruction cycle works from the following image:arrow_forwardA digital computer has a memory unit with 24 bits per word. The instruction set consists of 150 different operations. All instructions have an operation code part (opcode) and an address part (allowing for only one address, similar to Marie). Each instruction is stored in one word of memory. a) How many bits are needed for the opcode? b) How many bits are left for the address part of the instruction? c) What is the maximum allowable size for memory?arrow_forwardQ4-C: For a system that connects 65 CPU registers with an ALU which has 62 operations, the possible size of the control word that handles such system is: О 24 25 O 26 О 27 O None of the choicesarrow_forward
