What type of bus is optimal for interconnecting the central processing unit (CPU) and memory within our system? Please provide as much evidence as possible to justify your response.
Please discuss two pros and cons of using a single bus as a shared communication protocol between memory,
processor and I/O device.
When we link the central processing unit, often known as the CPU, to the memory, should we utilize a synchronous connection or an asynchronous bus? Please defend your position.
