Jade has to present a paper on the basic architecture of the Princeton microcomputer architecture model. Which option will he highlight as the basic features of the Princeton microcomputer architecture model?


The Princeton microcomputer architecture model is also known as the Von Neumann architecture. It’s 1. _____ consists of both the program code and the data. The processor requires 2._____ to complete an instruction.


Options for #1–

A. single memory

B. Double memory


Options for #2–

A. a single clock cycle

B. two clock cycles

Answer :

Answer:

1. A

2. B

Explanation:

Von Neumann architecture is based on the stored-program computer concept, where instruction data and program data are stored in the same memory.

A clock cycle pertains to a synchronous digital system. The clock is a continuous sequence of pulses, and the elapsed time for a single pulse is one clock cycle.

For Von Neumann architecture to complete an instruction requires two clock cycles.

At each clock cycle, one instruction is fetched from the memory, decoded, and then executed on the ALU. Results are stored back in the registers (very fast, but small, local memory) or in the main memory (slower access).

Answer:

  1. single memory ( A )
  2. double memory ( B )

Explanation:

The Princeton microcomputer architecture is modeled using the Von architecture, The Von Neumann architecture is consisted of a single separate storage structure ( memory ) to hold both data and instructions inputted into the microcomputer

the architecture consists of a memory and a CPU ( central processing unit ) and also and interconnection between the CPU and the memory of the computer. since the data and instructions share the same memory the processor require two clock cycles to complete an instruction.
