Which componets is the CPU and memory located on a computer?
The motherboard
Distinguish between primary memory and auxiliary memory?
the main memory is the central storage unit of the computer system. it is relatively large and fast memory used 2 store the programs and data during the computer operation.main memory communicates directly with the CPU. main memory includes RAM and ROMs. devices that provide backup storage are known as auxillary memory. auxillary memory are relatively slow in comparision to the main memory. auxillary memory includes flash memory,magntic disks and floppys. main memory is located inside the CPU but auxillary memory is located out the CPU. the main memory is the central storage unit of the computer system. it is relatively large and fast memory used 2 store the programs and data during the computer operation.main memory communicates directly with the CPU. main memory includes RAM and ROMs. devices that provide backup storage are known as auxillary memory. auxillary memory are relatively slow in comparision to the main memory. auxillary memory includes flash memory,magntic disks and floppys. main memory is located inside the CPU but auxillary memory is located out the CPU.
What memory is very fast memory circuitry located near the CPU that is used to speed up processing?
RAM
Where is the memory allocated?
Cache memory is built into the central processing unit, commonly known in short as the CPU, or it can be located on a separate chip next to the CPU. In other sense, cache is located between CPU and Main Memory in the memory hierarchy of a computer system. just type allinurl:cache memory, in Google search and you will find your answer with more pictures and a lot more about cache memory.
When evaluating CPU memory do you check the cache memory?
The only memory on the CPU is cache memory and it is only dependent on the CPU type and generation you use.
Is CPU directly addressable by the memory?
Yes, the CPU is directly addressable by the memory.
What are the chrcharacteristics of group of memory hierarchy at each level?
Registers: Fastest and smallest memory, typically located within the CPU for immediate access to data. Cache: Small and faster memory located close to the CPU, used to store frequently accessed data for quick retrieval. Main Memory (RAM): Larger and slower memory that holds data and instructions currently being processed by the CPU. Secondary Storage (Hard Drive, SSD): Largest and slowest memory that stores data persistently, even when the device is powered off.

A CPU executes only?
A CPU does math and accesses memory.
How important is a CPU in terms of memory?
Although memory and CPUs are linked together very closely, a CPU is only important to memory when the memory is active. It is the CPU that writes to and reads from memory (or other devices that are under the control of the CPU). When the memory is idle, its only function is to retain data ready for it to be written over or read. In almost all cases. memory can do this without any intervention by a CPU. In volatile memory, a power supply needs to be provided to retain the data. Non-volatile memory on the other hand will stored data without power. An example of this kind of memory is a USB drive that can be unplugged from a USB port and retain all data without needing either a power supply or a CPU. Memory in fact is rather more important to the CPU than the other way round. The CPU operates as directed by a program that is stored in memory. Without memory, a CPU will not have a program to run so will not be able to fucntion.
Advantage of using a CPU register over memory locations?
CPU register is faster than memory loacations
Main memory is located on the CPU chip?
The only memory located on a computers CPU chip is called the cache.... typically about 1-8MB in size it acts as a rapid access 'buffer' for immediate actions.The main memory is usually termed the RAM and sit's nexto the CentralProcessorUnit - connected by the FrontSideBus (board circuitry), size.... well depending on age anything from a few MB to 16GB (dependant on a number of factors).Actually, the term "main memory" is reserved for the primary location where active work is stored. In modern computers, "main memory" consists of DRAM chips mounted somewhere near the CPU. Thus, "main memory" is never on chip. The reason for this is cost - providing memory inside the CPU is hideously expensive, there is a limit to how much can be put there, and the amount can never change. Off-chip main memory allows very significant cost savings, and allows the amount of memory to be adjusted freely.There are generally TWO types of memory that are located on-chip, however. Cache memory (which can come in various "levels", describing how far away from the main CPU each memory bank is) is used to keep copies of data from the main memory in a location that is "closer" to the CPU, and thus faster to access and use. Registers are memory located directly inside the CPU's execution units - think of them as scratch space where the CPU can temporarily store small amounts of data while it does a calculation. For instance, if a CPU is asked to do: A+B=C, it will have to load A into a register, then load B into a register, then do the calculation, saving the result into a register, then finally load the "results" register value back into C.
