Computer Architecture 1. Define what a "word" is in computer architecture:
A. The size (number of bits) of the address
B. The total number of bits of an instruction (e. g. 16 bits)
C. Word and width are synonymous.
D. A word is the contents of a memory register.
2. What is the difference between a register’s width and a register’s address? (choose all that apply - there may be more than one correct answer)
A. They are both the same!
B. Address is the same for all registers, width is unique for each register.
C. Width is the amount of data a single register holds, address is the location of the register within a larger chip.
D. The address bits of a register is a logarithm of its width.
3. Which of the following is NOT implemented by the Program Counter?
A. Set the counter to 0.
B. Increase the counter by 1.
C. Decrease the counter by 1.
D. Set the counter to any input value.
4. What is the relationship between the size of the address (number of bits) and the word size for memory registers?
A. address bits = 2^(word size)
B. address bits = word size ^ 2
C. address bits = word size
D. address bits = log2(word size)
E. address bits = (word size) / 2
