Computer Architecture

Comparison of DRAM vs SRAM, Magnetic Disks vs Tapes, Pen Drive vs CD-RW, and ROM vs PROM

Comparison and Contrast (i) DRAM vs SRAM Feature DRAM (Dynamic RAM) SRAM (Static RAM) Storage Mechanism Stores data as charges in capacitors. Stores data using flip-flop circuits. Speed Slower due to the need for periodic refreshing. Faster as no refreshing is required. Power Consumption Consumes less power per cell. Consumes more power due to complex

What are the functions of various operational units of a computer system? What is von Neumann Architecture? How can you relate von Neumann architecture to an actual computer? Explain with the help of an example configuration.

1. Functions of Various Operational Units of a Computer System A computer system consists of various operational units that work together to perform computational tasks. These units and their functions are: a. Input Unit Function: Accepts data and instructions from the user or an external device and converts them into a form that the computer
