When the CPU looks for data and finds it already in the cache, this is called a ……….. 1.1 Quiz: Von Neumann Model Modern processors use techniques such as ……………….. to overcome the Von Neumann bottleneck. Modern processors use techniques such as cache, pipelining, and multiple coresto overcome the Von Neumann bottleneck. The Von Neumann ……………. occurs because the CPU and memory share a single bus, allowing only one piece of data to travel at a time. Level 3 – Launch 2.1 Quiz: Connecting Peripherals …………….. is cable type that used to connect computer with screen. Which of the following sends information OUT of the computer? USB is only used for charging phones and cannot connect any other devices. What kind of device is a webcam? Which connection type is commonly used for wireless headphones? Without peripherals, a computer would just be a box with no way to interact with it. Which of these is an output device? Which connection type carries both picture and sound together? A touchscreen can be both an input and an output device at the same time. A mouse is considered: 2.1 Assignment: Python — Syntax, Variables & Data Types 1.1 Assignment: Von Neumann Model 1.2 Assignment: Cache Memory & Processing Speed Level 8 – Surge 1.2 Assignment: IP Addresses, DNS & HTTP/HTTPS 1.1 Assignment: Networking 1.2 Quiz: IP Addresses, DNS & HTTP/HTTPS Data sent across the Internet is broken into small chunks called __________, each one carrying part of the message and a header with routing information. 1.1 Quiz: Networking The Wi-Fi standard …………. (also called Wi-Fi 6) offers faster speeds and can handle more devices simultaneously compared to older standards. 2.1 Assignment: Connecting Peripherals 1.1 Assignment: Exploring Computer Components 1.2 IP Addresses, DNS & HTTP/HTTPS Home Level 6 – Elevate 1.1 Quiz: Inside the CPU: How Processing Works What is the main job of the Control Unit inside the CPU? 1.1 Quiz: Exploring Computer Components More RAM means your computer can have more things open at once without slowing down. Which type of storage has a spinning disc inside? A CPU with a higher speed can process more instructions per second. What happens when you open a game on your computer? ………………… saves files for the long term Which unit is used to measure storage space? ……………… remembers what’s currently in use ……………….. thinks and calculates. An SSD is faster than an HDD because it has no moving parts. If you want to save a picture so you can look at it tomorrow, what would you use? RAM loses all its data as soon as the computer is switched off. Blog
