Clues

  • Allows multiple FDE cycles to occur at the same time. (Pre-fetching Instructions) (10)
  • Allows the CPU to define where the content of the data bus is going to or coming from (7, 3)
  • Hold the memory address of the next instruction, increment of 1 unless a jump in the program occurs. (7, 7)
  • Multiple CUP cores processing instructions concurrently (5, 4, 10)
  • Program Counter, Accumulator, Memory Address Register, Current Instruction Register, Memory Data Register (9)
  • The control unit (CU) is a component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) that directs the operation of the processor. (7, 4)
  • The CPU needs to receive and send control information between other parts of the computer (7, 3)
  • The purpose of the data bus is to allow data or instructions to pass from one area to another. (4, 3)
  • Using multi-core processing or a computer network to simultaneously process actions broken down into separate chunks. (8, 10)
  • Where intermediate arithmetic and logic results are stored (11)
