SLR 1 Flashcards
What is clock speed measured in
Hz
Is Von Neumann or Harvard faster
Harvard
Describe pipelining
Different parts of the FDE happen for different instructions at the same time
How do Von Neumann and Harvard differ
Harvard: instructions and data stored separately
Von Neumann: stored together, same bus
Describe program branching
When a program jumps to another lime to fetch from memory
Von Neumann executes instructions how?
Linear FDE, one ata time
Describe operand
The data or address to perform the operand on
What are the thee Cs that effect CpU performance
Clock speed, cache size, number of cores
FDE stands for
Fetch, decode, execute
What is a core
A copy of a CpU
MIMD stand for what
Multiple instruction multiple data
What is cache
Temporary storage of frequently used data/instructions
Describe opcode
What the code does
SIMD stand for what
Single instruction multiple data
Describe clock speed
The number of cycles of a cpu per second
