types of processors

Question 1

reduced instruction set computers

Answer 1

there is a small instruction set
each instruction is approximately one line of machine code and takes one clock cycle

Question 2

complex instruction set computers

Answer 2

large instruction set aim to try and accomplish as few lines of assembly code as possible
instructions are built into hardware
used in embedded systems

Question 3

risc and cisc comparison

Answer 3

risc - compiler has to do more work to translate high level code into machine code
more ram is required to store cause code is longer
pipelining is possible cause each instruction takes one clock cycle

Question 4

multi core system

Answer 4

have multiple cores that can complete instructions seperately - higher performance
perform better in larger projects

Question 5

parallel systems

Answer 5

accomplish a similair task using one core using threading

Question 6

graphics processing unit

Answer 6

a co processor
unlike cpu has lots of independant processors which work in parallel making it efficient at completing repetitive tasks such as image processing and machine learning
