Question

1. Moore's Law states that integrated circuit resources double every 18 - 24 months. TRUE/FALSE

2. Which of the following is not a design decision employed to increase performance? A. Parallelism B. Pipelining C. Polymorphism D. Prediction

3. Assembly language is considered a high-level language. TRUE/FALSE

4. ISA stands for A. Internet Security and Acceleration B. Instruction Set Architecture C. International Schools Association D. Investment Savings Account

5. Volatile memory retains data when power is removed. TRUE/FALSE

6. The clock period A. is equal to the clock rate B. is the length of a single cycle C. is the total program exeuction time D. varies based on the instruction executed

7. Processor execution time can be reduced by which of the following? A. Reducing the number of clock cycles B. Increasing the clock rate C. Both D. None

8. The CPI for an instruction class is typically different than the CPI of other classes in a given architecture. TRUE/FALSE

9. Performance does not depend on which of the following? A. Algorithm B. Compiler C. Instruction Set D. All of the above impact performance

10. MIPS (Millions of instructions per second) is an accurate measure of CPU execution time. TRUE/FALSE

Explanation / Answer

1. TRUE

2. polymorphism, its a feature of object oriented languages rather than a technique to improve perfromance.

3.FALSE, its closest to machine language, therefore low level language.

4.Instruction Set Architecture

5. FALSE , non volatile memory such as hard disk does the remembering

6. is the length of a single cycle

7. Both , because they are inversely proportional.

8.

9. All of the above impact performance

10. False. MIPS = Instruction Count/(CPU Exec Time 106)
