What else can I help you with?
What part of the desktop computer saves memory?
A desktop saves memory in the CPU. When one wants to access information, the random access memory, or RAM, is used. The amount of memory a computer has depends on the size of the CPU.
HOW DOES CPU INTERFACE WITH THE DEVICE TO COORDINATE THE TRANSFER?
. How does the CPU know when the memory operation is completed?
Where are programs copied into for the CPU to read?
Programs are copied into the computer's memory (RAM) for the CPU to read and execute.
How are programs copied into the CPU for it to read?
Programs are copied into the CPU for it to read through a process called loading. Loading involves transferring the program's instructions from storage, such as a hard drive or memory, into the CPU's memory for execution. This allows the CPU to access and execute the program's instructions in the correct sequence.
What do you know about cache?
cache is the type of memory within the CPU. It is extremely fast and is very small storage wise (it only comes in megabytes)
Does data bus and address bus determine the address space of a CPU?
Yes, the data bus and address bus play crucial roles in determining the address space of a CPU. The address bus defines the range of memory addresses that the CPU can access, with its width (number of lines) directly influencing the maximum addressable memory. The data bus, on the other hand, determines how much data can be transferred simultaneously between the CPU and memory. Together, they define the overall capability of the CPU to communicate with memory and peripherals.
Is RAM stored directly on the CPU?
No. RAM is a type of memory, not data.
What transfers data directly from the drive to memory with out using the CPU?
DMA
Is RAM stored directly on CPU?
No. RAM is a type of memory, not data.
Transfers data directly from the drive to memory without involving the CPU?
DMA
What is the difference between main and auxiliary memory?
The major difference between main memory and auxiliary memory is that main memory is directly accessed by CPU but the auxiliary memory is not accessed by the CPU directly.For this the data is first transferred to main memory from auxiliary memory and then from main memory the data is transferred to the CPU for further processing.

What is the smallest addressable memory unit in C?
program
What is byte addressable memory?
a byte is abasic storage unit in memory. when application program instructions and data are transferd to memory from storage devices. byte addressable memory refers to memory address that is accessed one byte (8 bits) at a time as opposed to 2 byte(16 bits), 4 byte(32 bits) or 8 byte(64 bits) addressable memory.
What allows a device to send data directly to memory by passing the CPU?
It's called DMA (Direct Memory Access)
A computer has a 32 bit data bus what is the largest number that can be carried into the CPU at a time?
A 32 bit data bus can send out 4 bytes at a time and can take in 2^32 in addressable memory
What is meant by the term Maximum addressable memory?
Maximum addressable memory is the most information a computer can store without having to delete something to make room for space. The maximum addressable memory also takes into consideration the files that cannot be erased, like the operating system files.
What is auxiliary memory give an example of auxiliary memory?
The major difference between main memory and auxiliary memory is that main memory is directly accessed by CPU but the auxiliary memory is not accessed by the CPU directly.For this the data is first transferred to main memory from auxiliary memory and then from main memory the data is transferred to the CPU for further processing. Some examples of auxiliary memory would be disks, external hard drives, USB drives, etc.
