Question

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. Its______ consists of both the program code and the data. The processor requires_____

to complete an instruction.


First drop down options:

Single memory

Double memory


2nd drop down:

A single clock cycle

Two clock cycles

Answer 1

Answer:

It consists of Single memory

The processor requires Single Clock Cycle

Explanation:

A von Neumann architecture is defined as a computer system comprising a single unified main memory which has all program instructions and all data that goes with them.

A clock cycle  refers 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.

Hence, one can implement von Neumann computer systems in a synchronous way, which means it executes instructions in a single clock cycle
