Select the correct name for: the specific implementation details of a processor design that realize a given instruction set architecture.
Difficulty: Hard
About this MCQ
This Hard Computer Architecture MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Select the correct name for: the specific implementation details of a processor design that realize a given instruction set architecture.”
The accepted answer is A. Microarchitecture. “Select the correct name for: the specific implementation details of a processor design that realize a given instruction set architecture.” is answered by Microarchitecture (option A). Option B (“Endianness”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Microarchitecture. Option C (“Clock cycle”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Microarchitecture. Remaining alternatives (Program counter) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Microarchitecture is identified. Computer Architecture questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. Computer Architecture recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
