Reorder
Reorder the steps of the memory write operation.
The MAR sets up the address bus with the memory location to be read from.
The MDR passes the data to be written to the data bus.
The write line on the control bus is activated by the processor.
The data bus transfers the data to the memory address specified on the address bus.

What is missing from step 2 of the fetch-execute cycle?
1.The MAR sets up the address bus with the memory location to be read from.
2.The ____ ____ on the control unit is activated by the processor.
3.The data from the memory address is placed on the data bus and transferred back to the instruction register.
4.The instruction in the instruction register is then interpreted by the decoder and carried out.

Open Ended
Explain why a processor with larger cache would outperform an identical processor with smaller cache. (2 marks)
16
larger cache stores more instructions/data
more cache hits/fewer cache misses
reduces fetches from main memory
1 mark for each bullet
Maximum 2 marks

Match
Match the system factor with the correct positive effect on system performance.
Increased data bus width
Increased cache memory
Increased clock speed
Increased processor cores
> bits transferred in a single operation
reduce number of accesses to main memory
More fetch-executes per clock pulse
Simultaneous execution of instructions
