Essentials of Computer Organization and Architecture, 5th Edition

TRUE OR FALSE

1. Most computers typically fall into one of three types of CPU organization: (1) general register organization; (2) single accumulator organization; or (3) stack organization.

2. The advantage of zero-address instruction computers is that they have short programs; the disadvantage is that the instructions require many bits, making them very long.

3. An instruction takes less time to execute on a processor using an instruction pipeline than on a processor without an instruction pipeline.

4. The term “endian” refers to an architecture’s byte ordering.

5. Stack architectures have good code density and a simple model for evaluation of expressions, but do not allow random access, which can cause a problem with the generation of efficient code. ...
