Module-1 Question Bank

1. With a neat diagram explain different processor registers.


2. What is a bus? Explain single bus and multiple bus structure used io
interconnect functional units in computer system.
3. Explain how the performance of a computer can be measured. What
are the measures to improve the performance of computers?
4. Explain (i) byte addressability (ii) big-endian assignment (iii)little
endian assignment with appropriate examples
