What are high-speed memory locations built directly into the CPU which hold data while it is being processed?
There are 2 types of high-speed memory built into a CPU:
Registers - these are the fastest (and also the smallest) memory sets, they usually contain a single instruction, set of characters, an integer etc.
Cache - this is the biggest memory bank (usually up 4-8 megabytes on modern consumer CPUs) on a CPU, and will usually hold data values from the RAM that are most frequently accessed or are required for the current or upcoming computation being performed
What else can I help you with?
What Is an area of highspeed memory tht sits between the processor and primary memory?
Cache
How many memory location could be directly accessed in a ram chip which is connected?
The number of memory locations that can be directly accessed in a RAM chip depends on its size and architecture. For example, a 1 GB RAM chip typically has 2^30 (1,073,741,824) memory locations if each location holds 1 byte. The total number of directly accessible locations is determined by the addressing scheme, which is usually defined by the number of address lines in the chip.
Roles of memory in computer proccessing of data?
Memory hold data that is been processed by the computer Memory also holds data that is waiting to be processed by the computer It also holds data that has been processed by the computer
How many register in 2K memory chip?
Registers represent the number of memory locations. A 2K memory chip has 2x1024=2048 memory locations. Hence there are 2048 registers in a 2K memory.
How many memory locations can be specified by an 14 - bit address?
A 14 bit address can specify 214 or 16,384 different locations.
What computer memory is used for storing programs processed by the CPU?
Internal memory (RAM)
How many different memory locations can the HCS12 access with out the expanded memory?
2^16 locations or 65,536 bytes
Is CPU directly addressable by the memory?
Yes, the CPU is directly addressable by the memory.
What component of the computer holds data that is currently being processed?
The data is held by RAM(random access memory) or primary memory when it's being processed.
Why are RISC architectures referred to as Load-Store architectures?
RISC architectures generally have fewer instructions that operate directly on memory locations than CISC architectures. So, where a CISC machine will have instructions that operate directly on memory, in RISC this would be implemented as: Load from memory into register, do operation on register, store register back into memory. So a lot of the processing revolves around the Load-Store loop.
How many memory locations represents a kilobyte?
If a memory location stores one byte, then a kilobyte is made up of 1,000 locations.
What part of the brain is sensory memory stored?
Sensory memory is stored in different regions of the brain depending on the type of sensory information. For example, auditory sensory memory is primarily processed in the auditory cortex, while visual sensory memory is processed in the visual cortex.
