6、NSWERS TO QQ QUESTIONSUESTIONSUESTIONS1.1 A main memory, which stores both data and instructions: an arithmetic and logic unit (ALU) capable of operating on binary data; a control unit, which interprets the instructions in memory and causes them to be executed; and input and output (I/O) equipment o
7、perated by the control unit.1.2 User-visible registers: Enable the machine- or assembly-language programmer to minimize main memory references by optimizing register use. For high-level languages, an optimizing compiler will attempt to make intelligent choices of which variables to assign to registe
8、rs and which to main memory locations. Some high- level languages, such as C, allow the programmer to suggest to the compiler which variables should be held in registers. Control and status registers: Used by the processor to control the operation of the processor and by privileged, operating system
9、 routines to control the execution of programs.1.3 These actions fall into four categories: Processor-memory: Data may be transferred from processor to memory or from memory to processor. Processor-I/O: Data may be transferred to or from a peripheral device by transferring between the processor and
10、an I/O module. Data processing: The processor may perform some arithmetic or logic operation on data. Control: An instruction may specify that the sequence of execution be altered.1.4 An interrupt is a mechanism by which other modules (I/O, memory) may interrupt the normal sequencing of the processo
11、r.1.5 Two approaches can be taken to dealing with multiple interrupts. The first is to disable interrupts while an interrupt is being processed. A second approach is to define priorities for interrupts and to allow an interrupt of higher priority to cause a lower-priority interrupt handler to be int
12、errupted.1.6 The three key characteristics of memory are cost, capacity, and access time.1.7 Cache memory is a memory that is smaller and faster than main memory and that is interposed between the processor and main memory. The cache acts as a buffer for recently used memory locations.1.8 Programmed
13、 I/O: The processor issues an I/O command, on behalf of a process, to an I/O module; that process then busy-waits for the operation to be completed before proceeding. Interrupt-driven I/O: The processor issues an I/O command on behalf of a process, continues to execute subsequent instructions, and is interrupt
