Q: Brain of computer is ____________
Solution: The CPU is referred to as the brain of a computer. It consists of a control unit and the arithmetic and logic unit. It is responsible for performing all the processes and operations.
Q: Control Unit acts as the central nervous system of the computer.
Solution: The control unit is referred to as the central nervous system because it selects and interprets the instructions and coordinates execution.
Q: What does MBR stand for?
Solution: The binary subtraction 0 – 1 gives the result 1. A borrow of 1 is although generated and is removed from the next higher column.
Q: In the instruction ADD A, B, the answer gets stored in ___________
Solution: In any instruction of the form ADD A, B; the answer gets stored in the A register. The format is: ADD Destination, Source.
Q: What does PC stand for?
Solution: The Program counter contains the address of the next instruction which is to be fetched by the control unit. All other options are invalid.
Q: Which of the following holds the last instruction fetched?
Solution: The IR which stands for the instruction register contains the last instruction fetched. All the others options are registers which are used for the fetch operation.
Q: The portion of the processor which contains the hardware required to fetch the operations is _______
Solution: The datapath contains the hardware required to fetch the operations. The control tells the data path what needs to be done.
Q: Causing the CPU to step through a series of micro operations is called _________
Solution: Sequencing is the process of causing the CPU to step through a series of micro operations. Execution causes the performance of each micro operation.
Q: The functions of execution and sequencing are performed by using ___________
Solution: Sequencing followed by the process of execution is performed by the Control signals. Sequencing is traversing each and every operation whereas execution causes the performance of each operation.
Q: What does D in the D-flip flop stand for?
Solution: In the hardwired control unit, the delay element method uses D-flip flop which causes a delay. Since, in the delay element method, there must be a finite time gap between the 2 steps.
