Document Summary
List the components and architecture of a cpu. Show how memory is accessed and used by the cpu. Address from an instruction is copied to the mar, which finds the location in memory. Cpu determines if it"s a store or retrieval. Explain how busses are organized to move data near a cpu. The physical connection that makes it possible to transfer data from one location in the computer system to another. High throughput (data transfer rate in bits per second) Single data line pair and few control lines. Can have higher throughput than parallel cause no electrical interference. Single instructions can execute several low-level operations of are capable of multi-step operations or addressing nodes within single instructions. A simplified instruction set provides higher performance when combined with a microprocessor architecture capable of executing instructions using fewer microprocessor cybers per instruction. Hit ratio (ratio of hits out of total requests) - 90%+ common.
