Question 4 1 in 1 points

According to Stallings (2010), Von Neumann conceived the concept of stored program, published in
1945, with the proposal of a new computer called EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Computer).
This concept is based on the division of the computer into functional units that provide a
program storage in memory along with the data.

Question 7 0 in 1 points

Computers work with what are called digital signals, logically represented by the unit
referred to as a bit (binary digit). In relation to data processing, it is common to adopt the byte unit for
to represent a certain amount of bits, being, for example, practiced as a unit of measure for
file size or data storage size.
Based on the studied content about storage measures, select the correct alternative that
represents the number of bits in a 1 Mbyte file.
Selected Answer: 1,048,576 bits.

Correct Answer: 8,388,608 bits.

Feedback from Your answer is incorrect. Dividing the result of the incorrect alternatives by 8 (1 byte)
answer: 8 bits), we will not have the value of 1 Mbyte.

Question 8 1 in 1 points

A computer has as its basic function the execution of a program, which is a sequence of
instructions stored in memory (STALLINGS, 2010). The processor must execute instruction by
instruction within what was specified by the program, through steps carried out sequentially.

STALLINGS, W. Computer Organization and Architecture. 8th ed. São Paulo: Pearson Practice Hall, 2010. p.
56.

Considering this information about the stages of executing a program instruction and the content
Studied, analyze the following statements and mark T for the true ones and F for the false ones:

In the search for instructions, the processor accesses memory and fetches the next instruction to be executed.
In decoding, the processor interprets the instruction and verifies the operation to be executed.
In the search for operands, the processor executes the instruction as it has all the necessary data.
( ) In result storage, the result of the operation is stored in memory or in
registrars.
