Digital Electronics and Computer Architecture Quiz

Basic Computer Organization

• The system bus is a component of basic computer organization that connects and allows communication between major components, such as CPU, memory, and I/O devices.
• The system bus is responsible for transmitting data, addresses, and control signals between components.

Input/Output Component

• The I/O device is the component responsible for data input and output in a computer.

Registers

• Computer registers are small amounts of on-chip memory that store data temporarily while it is being processed.
• The purpose of computer registers is to provide quick access to the data being processed, increasing processing speed.

Instruction Set

• Instruction set completeness refers to the ability of a CPU's instruction set to perform all necessary operations to execute a program.

Main Components

• The three main components of basic computer organization are the Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory, and Input/Output (I/O) devices.

System Bus

• The system bus is physically represented by a set of wires that connect and enable communication between major components.

Instruction Cycle

• The instruction cycle refers to the process of fetching, decoding, and executing instructions in a computer.

CPU Component

• The registers are responsible for temporarily holding data and instructions within the Central Processing Unit (CPU).

I/O Subsystem

• The function of the I/O subsystem is to manage input/output operations between the computer and external devices.
