Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

A CPU, also known as a ( Central Processing Unit, Control Processing Unit, Central Power Unit, Control Power Unit ), is responsible for for the ( processing, movement, architecture, communication ) carried out by a ( computer, device, brain, motherboard ).

Explanation

Question 7 of 14

1

The ❌ is a fast chip that allows the CPU to communicate with ❌ and the graphics card. As graphics takes a lot of processing, there is typically a ❌ [GPU] on the graphics card. They get hot, so they have a ❌ or fan to reduce temperature.

The Northbridge also communicated with the Southbridge. The Southbridge communicates with Input/Output devices, the ❌ [BIOS] and storage devices.

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

The ( Fetch-Decode-Execute, F-D-E, Fetch-Decode ) cycle [also known as the Fetch-Execute cycle] is a process that happens within the CPU. It f( etches, ries, riends ) the next ( instruction, book, photograph ), decodes it and then executes it.

Explanation

Question 12 of 14

1

The CPU contains:

Select one or more of the following:

Two Level 1s and one Level 2 Cache: a memory similar to RAM. It is faster and more expensive. Level 1 cache only holds a little bit of data, while Level 2 stores more.
Control Unit [CU]: it is responsible for coordinating timing and data flow in the processor.
Arithmetic Logic Unit [ALU]: responsible for arithmetic and logic operations.
Registers: there are many types of registers within the CPU. They're small areas where binary digits are read and written on the CPU.
RAM: random access memory
ROM: read only memory. Holds the code to start up the computer

Explanation

Question 13 of 14

1

Types of registers:

(a) Accumulator: temporary ❌ for ALU results.
(b) Program Counter: stores memory address of the next function. Adds ❌ to it, after each F-D-C cycle.
(c) Instruction Register: current instruction is stored in ❌.
(d) Memory Address Register: stores memory address of ❌ instruction.
(e) Memory ❌ Register: stores data that was read or written to memory.
