A particular architecture may span many years and encompass a number of different computer models, its organization changing with changing technology.
System software was introduced in the third generation of computers.
A common measure of performance for a processor is the rate at which instructions are executed, expressed as billions of instructions per seconds (BIPS).
Because all devices on a synchronous bus are tied to a fixed clock rate, the system cannot take advantage of advances in device performance.
A number of chips can be grouped together to form a memory bank
A characteristic of ROM is that it is volatile.
It is not necessary for the ALU to signal when overflow occurs.
Addition and subtraction can be performed on numbers in twos complement notation by treating them as unsigned integers.
It has become common practice to use a symbolic representation of machine instructions.
Addresses are a form of data.
In a system without virtual memory, the effective address is a virtual address or a register.
Register indirect addressing uses the same number of memory references as indirect addressing.
The memory transfer rate has kept up with increases in processor speed.
The control unit (CU) does the actual computation or processing of data.
The processor needs to store instructions and data temporarily while
