RESOURCE
●● execution time
Answer: Also known as Response Time. The total time required for the
computer to complete a task, including disk accesses, memory accesses,
I/O activities, operating system overhead, CPU execution time, and so
on.
●● throughput
Answer: Also know as Bandwidth. The number of tasks completed per
unit time.
●● bandwidth
Answer: Also known as Throughput. The number of tasks completed per
unit time.
●● CPU execution time
Answer: The actual time the CPU spends computing for a specific task.
●● user CPU time
,Answer: The CPU time spent in a program itself.
●● system CPU time
Answer: The CPU time spent in the operating system performing tasks
on behalf of the program.
●● system performance
Answer: The overall capability and efficiency of a computer system in
carrying out various tasks and workloads.
●● CPU performance
Answer: The measurement of a computer's processor's ability to execute
tasks and processes effectively and efficiently.
●● clock rate
Answer: The time for one clock period, usually of the processor clock,
which runs at a constant rate.
●● clock period
Answer: The length of each clock cycle.
●● CPI
,Answer: Average number of clock cycles per instruction for a program
or program fragment.
●● instruction count
Answer: The number of instructions executed by the program.
●● instruction mix
Answer: A measure of the dynamic frequency of instructions across one
or many programs.
●● IPC
Answer: A metric used to measure the efficiency and performance of a
computer's central processing unit. The opposite of CPI.
●● fields
Answer: A machine instruction is composed of fields, each field having
several bits and representing some part of the instruction.

instruction.
●● destination register
Answer: A register that receives the result of an operation
●● stored program concept
Answer: Programs are stored in memory along with data
●● scientific notation
Answer: A notation that renders numbers with a single digit to the left of
the decimal point.
●● normalized
Answer: A number in floating-point notation that has no leading 0s.
