Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of cache memory in a random access memory system?

  • To speed up access time by storing frequently accessed data closer to the processor (correct)
  • To increase the overall storage capacity of the system
  • To control the flow of instructions in the control unit
  • To manage the fetch and store operations between the processor and RAM

    • How does the control unit implement the stored program characteristic of the Von Neumann architecture?

  • By fetching, decoding, and executing instructions stored in memory (correct)
  • By coordinating the input and output operations of the computer system
  • By managing the flow of data within the processor
  • By controlling the access to cache memory

    • What is the role of the arithmetic/logic unit (ALU) in a computer system?

  • Controlling the input and output devices
  • Managing the flow of data between the processor and memory
  • Storing the program instructions for execution
