1. TRUE or FALSE? Any piece of memory that is used to store the sum of numeric values is known as a register.
2. TRUE or FALSE? The path that data follows within the CPU, traveling along buses from registers to the ALU and then back to registers, is known as the CPU data path.
3. TRUE or FALSE? All modern CPUs provide the same set of basic operations that can be executed in a single CPU cycle.
4. TRUE or FALSE? The size of main memory is generally measured in MHz or GHz.
5. TRUE or FALSE? Suppose you wish to add two numbers that are stored in memory. Before the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) can add the numbers, they must first be transferred to registers within the CPU.
6. TRUE or FALSE? In real computers, it takes roughly the same amount of time to transfer data from main memory to registers as it does to add two numbers in registers.
7. TRUE or FALSE? Within the CPU, the Control Unit is responsible for fetching machine-language instructions from memory, interpreting their meaning, and carrying out the specified CPU cycles.
8. TRUE or FALSE? Suppose a CPU contains eight registers. Within a machine-language instruction, at least three bits would be required to uniquely identify one of the registers.
9. TRUE or FALSE? In a multitasking computer, the program counter keeps track of how many programs are currently loaded into main memory.
10. TRUE or FALSE? In a stored-program computer, both machine-language instructions and the data operated on by those instructions can reside in main memory at the same time.
