Difficulty: Hard
About this MCQ
This Hard Computer Architecture MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “What is the name for a limitation on system throughput caused by shared memory paths for both data and instructions?”
The accepted answer is C. Von Neumann bottleneck. Von Neumann bottleneck is the fact required by What is the name for a limitation on system throughput caused by shared memory paths for both data and instructions option C Option A Addressing mode does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Von Neumann bottleneck Option B Flynn's taxonomy does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Von Neumann bottleneck Remaining alternatives Accumulator fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Von Neumann bottleneck 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.
