Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

It is the process of assigning load addresses to the various parts o the program, adjusting the code and data in the program to reflect the assigned addresses.

Multiple choice
  1. cache memory

  2. main memory

  3. secondary storage

  4. vacant memory

  5. none of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Yes,  secondary storage is called as auxiliary storage.  It is also called as mass storage device.

Multiple choice
  1. Main memory

  2. Secondary memory

  3. Cache memory

  4. Read only storage memory

  5. None of the above

D Correct answer
Explanation

Micro program executes the OPCODE. These programmes are available in ROS of the processor.

Multiple choice
  1. user programme in the main memory

  2. instruction (OPCODE) in processor

  3. instruction (OPRAND) in processor

  4. program in the main memory

  5. none of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Micro programs are written to produce relevant digital signals of the given OPCODE. Hence, option (2) is correct.

Multiple choice
  1. larger than main memory

  2. same as main memory

  3. shorter than main memory

  4. overlay has nothing to do with memory

  5. none of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Overlay concept uses the free blocks of the main memory during run time to execute some portion of a program. So, when a larger size program is required to be executed, it is first fragmented in smaller continuous programmes, and those programmes are loaded and removed in/from memory as and when required.

Multiple choice
  1. MOS Device

  2. TTL Device

  3. ECL Device

  4. C-MOS Device

  5. None of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

ECL can be easily implemented to have high speed memory chip. Because of its speed, it is favourable for implementing cache memory.
