Is the CPU found on the motherboard?
The CPU is not part of the motherboard but it is placed on the motherboard. The CPU is squared and about a quarter inch square in size. It is placed in the CPU socket. A heatsink/fan is placed on top of the CPU to keep the CPU cool which makes it pretty hard to see because the heatsink/fan covers it when it is in a working computer.
Where on the CPU does the AT motherboard sits on of the expansion slots?
On an AT motherboard, the CPU will be placed in front of the expansion slots
What is the stack pointer inside the CPU?
The stack pointer is a special-purpose register in the CPU that holds the address of the top of the current stack in memory. The stack is a data structure used for managing function calls, local variables, and control flow, operating in a last-in, first-out (LIFO) manner. As functions are called and return, the stack pointer is updated to reflect the current position of the stack, ensuring proper access to function parameters and local data. This mechanism is crucial for maintaining the execution context during program runtime.
What is placed on the external bus to tell the CPU what to do?
This is sparta not patrick
Which CPU register holds address for memory?
The program counter (PC) and the stack pointer (SP).
What section of memory is used to make stack?
Stack memory is memory assigned to a task or other instruction loop that it uses to perform instructions. Stack is used any time variables are declared inline with the code (see example below). Stack is also used for preserving registers whenever the processor switches contexts (from task to interrupt, between interrupts, or between tasks). Stack is provide either by the Operating System when the task is started, statically when a task is defined (as would be in an RTOS), or at compile time if there is no operating system. In the third case, the stacks in the system are assigned for each of the various interrupt contexts and the main loop. Stack usage example: void somefunc(int a) { // "int a" will be in a CPU register int i=0; // May be either a CPU register or on the stack, depending on CPU architecture and compiler. char c[10]; // Will exist on the stack struct somestruct *ss=malloc(sizeof(struct somestruct)); // The memory that ss points to will be in the "heap", the pointer to this memory will be on the stack. }
What are three important considerations when installing CPU on the motherboard?
What are three important considerations when installing a CPU on a motherboard?
When all the arches are placed properly in the container how high is the stack of arches?
4 deep
How does a thread work in a CPU?
A thread in a CPU is a sequence of instructions that the CPU can execute independently from other threads. Each thread has its own program counter, stack pointer, and set of registers. The CPU switches between threads to give the appearance of running multiple tasks simultaneously.
When a function call is made inside a running program the return address is saved on the program stack Who saves it?
The CPU (=Central Processor Unit).
What you used with the CPU heat sink or fan and what is the difference between them?
Heatsinks and fans are used on CPUs to help cool them down so that they are not destroyed. A heatsink is a piece of metal placed on the CPU to distribute heat away from the CPU itself.
What processor is placed within a device and is designed and programmed to perform only the tasks done by that device?
cpu
