  2. 2ALU stands for [blank_start]Arithmetic[blank_end] [blank_start]Logic[blank_end] [blank_start]Unit[blank_end].
    1. AAND-gate
    2. BArithmetic
    3. CAlternative
    4. DAnterior
    5. ELogic
    6. FLesser
    7. GLocation
    8. HLive
    9. IUtility
    10. JUnderground
    11. KUniversality
    12. LUnit
  3. 3Which of the following computer architectures can be described as the following:
    Consisting of a CPU containing a processing unit containing an arithmetic logic unit and processor registers and a control unit containing an instruction register and program counter, a memory to store both data and instructions, external mass storage, and input and output mechanisms.
    1. ABabbage-Lovelace
    2. BVon Neumann
    3. CTuring
  4. 4The behaviour of a CPU with regards to how it processes instructions follows a cycle of [blank_start]fetching[blank_end] the instruction, [blank_start]decoding[blank_end] the instruction and then [blank_start]executing[blank_end] it. This is called the fetch-execute cycle.
    1. Afetching
    2. Bmanaging
    3. Cdecoding
    4. Dcoding
    5. Eexecuting
    6. Fplaying
  5. 5Which two of the following are operations that the ALU might carry out?
    1. AConverting a coded instruction into machine code.
    2. BAddition of two values
    3. CComparing two numbers to see which is larger
    4. DRetrieving an instruction from memory
    5. EExecuting an instruction
  6. 6The [blank_start]clock speed[blank_end] of a CPU is measured in hertz, the symbol for which is [blank_start]Hz[blank_end]. [blank_start]One[blank_end] hertz means that the CPU can execute one operation per [blank_start]second[blank_end]. We also get [blank_start]kilohertz[blank_end] (kHz), [blank_start]megahertz[blank_end] (MHz) and [blank_start]gigahertz[blank_end] (GHz). One kHz means [blank_start]one thousand[blank_end] operations a second, one MHz means [blank_start]one million[blank_end] operations a second and one GHz means [blank_start]one billion[blank_end] operations per second.
