WGU C952
Ace your WGU C952 Computer Architecture exam 2025/2026. This
comprehensive resource questions covers the foundational concepts of
how computers are designed, operate at the hardware level digital
logic, processor architecture, memory hierarchy, instruction sets, and
input/output systems. Perfect for students pursuing careers in
computer engineering, systems programming, and IT infrastructure.
Personal computer (PC) ...... ANSWER ..... A
computer designed for use by an individual, usually
incorporating a graphics display, a keyboard, and a mouse.
Server ...... ANSWER ..... A computer used for
running larger programs for multiple users, often
simultaneously, and typically accessed only via a network.
Supercomputer: ...... ANSWER ..... A class of
computers with the highest performance and cost; they are
, configured as servers and typically cost tens to hundreds of
millions of dollars.

Embedded computer: ...... ANSWER ..... A computer
inside another device used for running one predetermined
application or collection of software.
Personal mobile devices (PMDs) ...... ANSWER .....
are small wireless devices to connect to the Internet; they
rely on batteries for power, and software is installed by
downloading apps. Conventional examples are smart
phones and tablets.
Cloud computing ...... ANSWER ..... refers to large
collections of servers that provide services over the
Internet; some providers rent dynamically varying numbers
of servers as a utility.
Software as a Service (SaaS) ...... ANSWER .....
delivers software and data as a service over the Internet,
usually via a thin program such as a browser that runs on
local client devices, instead of binary code that must be
, installed, and runs wholly on that device. Examples
include web search and social networking.

Multicore microprocessor ...... ANSWER ..... A
microprocessor containing multiple processors ("cores") in
a single integrated circuit.
Acronym ...... ANSWER ..... A word constructed by
taking the initial letters of a string of words. For example:
RAM is an acronym for Random Access Memory, and
CPU is an acronym for Central Processing Unit.
Terabyte (TB): ...... ANSWER ..... Originally
1,099,511,627,776 (240) bytes, although communications
and secondary storage systems developers started using the
term to mean 1,000,000,000,000 (1012) bytes. To reduce
confusion, we now use the term tebibyte (TiB) for 240
bytes, defining terabyte (TB) to mean 1012 bytes. The
figure below shows the full range of decimal and binary
values and names.
, Systems software: ...... ANSWER ..... Software that
provides services that are commonly useful, including
operating systems, compilers, loaders, and assemblers.

Operating system ...... ANSWER ..... Supervising
program that manages the resources of a computer for the
benefit of the programs that run on that computer.
Compiler ...... ANSWER ..... A program that
translates high-level language statements into assembly
language statements.
Binary digit ...... ANSWER ..... Also called a bit. One
of the two numbers in base 2 (0 or 1) that are the
components of information.
Instruction ...... ANSWER ..... A command that
computer hardware understands and obeys
Assembler ...... ANSWER ..... A program that
translates a symbolic version of instructions into the binary
version.
