IE 332 Exam 1 UPDATED ACTUAL Exam
Questions and CORRECT ANSWERS
Universal Turing Machine - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-infinite tape composed of cells, each
contain a single character
-machine can change info being stored, write new symbol, or move tape left or right
-Mathematical model of computation
-can be used to show what can be computed by any machine
Computability - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-qualitative
-what can be decided algorithmically
Complexity - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-what resources (time/space/communication) are
needed
-emphasizes quantitative properties
-P vs. NP rank the level of this
Von Neumann Architecture - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-First written description of how an
electronic computer stores and processes info
-Composed of: Arithmetic logic unit & control unit, memory, input/output
-design = still same basis of computers today
Computing Process - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔1). Fetch - next instruction fetched from
cache or RAM
2). Decode - instructions decoded into form ALU or FPU can understand
3). Execute - instructions carried out
4). Store - data/results stored in registers or RAM
Why use binary? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-Signal distinction otherwise difficult
-Digital representation of numbers, logic, etc.
-circuits = consequences of on/off switches
,Switches - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-computers = collection of switches
-switches grouped into logic gates, then logic blocks, then logic functions, then logic chips
-bit = switch being turned on/off
ENIAC - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-memoryless (rewired for each program)
-punch cards = input/output
-registers = quick-access read/write storage
UNIVAC - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-didn't require rewiring
-used for alphabetical and numerical programs
Transistors ** purpose? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-electronic switch
-gets rid of vacuum tube
-used for same purpose as vacuum tube was
Queue in CPU - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-contains instructions
Core in CPU - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-where computations occur
Cache in CPU - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-relatively small but very fast type of memory
used to store recently used info
-CPU first looks in the cache, then the RAM
-can have different levels of cache
-works b/c more recently used info typically most common to be used again soon
Control Unit in CPU - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-delegates operations
Arithmetic Logic Unit in CPU - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-performs operations
, Register in CPU - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-very small bookstore that only has one book,
easy to find/access, but doesn't store much
CPU Clock - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-"ticks" by turning on/off at a specific rate
-very consistent
-needs to be on the chip
-keeps everything in sync
-modern CPU measured in GHz
-e/ instruction requires a certain number of clock ticks to perform
-as CPUs became faster, wires on MB started acting like antennae -> Signal vanishes as radio
wave
-Special clock used to transfer between RAM and CPU
Moore's Law - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-every 1-2 years there's about a doubling in
computing rate/# of transistors
GPU Computing - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-Graphics Processing Unit
-Differences b/w GPU & CPU:
-CPU = few cores optimized for sequential tasks
-GPU = thousands of cores for many parallel tasks
each core runs slower than CPU
many more transistors
more power and cost efficient
more limited instruction set
good for simulation based tasks
can accelerate applications faster than CPU
Volatile Computer Memory - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-primary memory
-info lost when power goes off
-holds data and instructions currently being used by CPU (ex: cache, registers, RAM)
