Questions and Answers

What are microoperations in computer architecture?

Microoperations are the operations performed on the data in registers, such as shift, load, clear, increment, and more.

What are the two main characteristics of simple digital systems?

The two main characteristics of simple digital systems are the registers they contain and the operations they perform.

What is the purpose of register transfer language?

The purpose of register transfer language is to describe the transfer of data between registers and the operations performed on that data.
