KEY TERMS IN COMPUTING AND NETWORKING
Across
- 4. Random Access Memory, a type of volatile computer memory used to store data and instructions temporarily while they are being processed by the CPU.
- 5. The maximum rate of data transfer across a network, often measured in bits per second (bps), indicating the amount of data that can be transmitted in a given period.
- 7. A unit of digital information consisting of 8 bits, often used to represent a character of data in a computer.
- 8. A set of rules and conventions that define how data is transmitted and received over a network, ensuring compatibility and proper communication between devices.
- 9. A data structure in computing where elements are added at the back and removed from the front, following a first-in, first-out (FIFO) order.
- 10. A data structure in computing where elements are added and removed in a last-in, first-out (LIFO) order.
Down
- 1. A structured collection of data that is stored and managed electronically, allowing for easy access, manipulation, and retrieval of information.
- 2. A small, high-speed storage area that stores frequently accessed data to speed up retrieval and reduce access times to slower memory or storage.
- 3. The smallest unit of digital information, representing a binary value of either 0 or 1.
- 6. A system of interconnected computers or devices that can communicate and share resources such as data, files, and hardware.
