What is the maximum amount of memory any single process on Windows can address?
32 bit processor can access 4294967296 bit memory adderss.
What factor decides the bit size of a processor?
bit size is a wordlength of one memory location
What is the minimum CPU speed and memory to run windows 7 64bit?
1GHz or faster 64-bit processor. 2GB RAM Memory. 16GB Space.
Maximum memory address space that the processor can access directly if it is connected to a 16-bit memory?
Max. memory address space= 216 X 2 bytes = 128 Kbytes
Explain storing a word and fetching a word into memory?
Storing a word in memory involves writing the word's data into a specific memory location. Fetching a word from memory entails reading the word's data from the corresponding memory location and transferring it to the processor for further processing.
What is the recommended size of cache memory in a processor?
The maximum size of a cache memory is theoretically equal to the amount of primary memory(RAM).Like Cache only memory architecture where the whole memory space is filled up with the cache only.
Differentiate between memory mapped IO and IO mapped IO?
Memory mapped IO is one where the processor and the IO device share the same memory location(memory) while IO mapped IO is one where the processor and the IO device have different memory located to each other.
When is it most important to know the speed of memory?
It is the speed of your processor, that you need to know. It would be the size of your memory that is important. For both of those things, it is important to know them when you have a particular piece of software to run or work to be done that needs a minimum level of processor speed and memory size to work properly.
Outline steps in CPU writing to memory?
1 The processor puts the required addresses on to the address bus 2 Any addresses that invoke chip select are decoded 3 Chip select is generated 4 The processor waits for memory to settle 5 The processor generates a memory write control bit (MEMW) 6 The processor puts the data on to the data bus 7 The contents are written to a specific location on memory.
What types of transfers must a computers interconnection structure (bus) support?
The Type of transfers that must a computer interconnection structure support thats a bus is the following: (1) Memory to Processor (2) Processor to Memory (3) I/O to Processor (4) Processor to I/O (5) I/O to or from Memory
