Across
  1. 3. A component of a CPU that provides timing and coordination between the other parts of the CPU, such as the arithmetic logic unit, registers, and system bus
  2. 7. The computer hardware design that includes the processor (CPU) and communication routes between the CPU and the hardware it manages, such as memory and disk storage
  3. 10. is the ability to run two or more processes (known as threads) at the same time
  4. 12. The part of a processor used to read and execute instructions
  5. 13. An internal communications pathway that keeps the CPU informed of the status of particular computer resources and devices, such as memory and disk drives
  6. 15. The numeric code read by the CPU that represents a particular machine instruction
  7. 16. The smallest piece of computer code that can be independently scheduled for execution
  8. 17. A path or channel between a computer’s CPU and the devices it manages, such as memory and I/O devices
  9. 19. A feature of some Intel CPUs that allows two threads to run on each CPU core simultaneously
  10. 20. A CPU design that permits the processor to operate on one instruction at the same time it is fetching one or more subsequent instructions from the operating system or application
Down
  1. 1. A computer program that takes a high-level language like C++ or Java and turns it into assembly code that is executed by the CPU
  2. 2. Most processors used in modern client (like laptops and PCs) and server systems are
  3. 4. A memory address that a CPU begins reading from whenever the CPU receives a reset signal, such as when power is first applied or someone presses the reset button on a computer
  4. 5. The processing logic of a CPU that is manufactured on a silicon wafer containing millions or billions of transistors
  5. 6. processors are RISC-based and are the most commonly used processor architecture in the world due to their extensive use in mobile devices.
  6. 8. A computer program that translates assembly code into numeric values called opcodes that the CPU can understand
  7. 9. An internal communications pathway that carries data between the CPU and memory locations
  8. 11. performs the primary task of executing instructions.
  9. 14. The address bus typically runs at the external clock speed of the CPU. The address, like all data in the computer, is in digital form and is conveyed as a series of
  10. 18. provides timing and coordination between the other parts of the CPU, such as the arithmetic logic unit, registers, and system bus.
