Explanation: None.
6. The address system supported by ARM systems is/are ___________
a) Little Endian
b) Big Endian
c) X-Little Endian
d) Both Little & Big Endian
View Answer
Explanation: The way in which, the data gets stored in the system or the way of address allocation is called as address system.
7. Memory can be accessed in ARM systems by __________ instructions.
i) Store
ii) MOVE
iii) Load
iv) arithmetic
v) logical
a) i, ii, iii
b) i, ii
c) i, iv, v
d) iii, iv, v
View Answer
Explanation: None.
8. RISC stands for _________
a) Restricted Instruction Sequencing Computer
b) Restricted Instruction Sequential Compiler
c) Reduced Instruction Set Computer
d) Reduced Induction Set Computer
View Answer
Explanation: This is a system architecture, in which the performance of the system is improved by reducing the size of the instruction set.
9. In the ARM, PC is implemented using ___________
a) Caches
b) Heaps
c) General purpose register
d) Stack
View Answer
Explanation: PC is the place where the next instruction about to be executed is stored.
10. The additional duplicate register used in ARM machines are called as _______
a) Copied-registers
b) Banked registers
c) EXtra registers
d) Extential registers
View Answer
Explanation: The duplicate registers are used in situations of context switching.
11. The banked registers are used for ______
a) Switching between supervisor and interrupt mode
b) Extended storing
c) Same as other general purpose registers
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: When switching from one mode to another, instead of storing the register contents somewhere else it’ll be kept in the duplicate registers and the new values are stored in the actual registers.
12. Each instruction in ARM machines is encoded into __________ Word.
a) 2 byte
b) 3 byte
c) 4 byte
d) 8 byte
View Answer
Explanation: The data is encrypted to make them secure.
13. All instructions in ARM are conditionally executed.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: None.
14. The addressing mode where the EA of the operand is the contents of Rn is ______
a) Pre-indexed mode
b) Pre-indexed with write back mode
c) Post-indexed mode
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: None.
15. The effective address of the instruction written in Post-indexed mode, MOVE[Rn]+Rm is _______
a) EA = [Rn]
b) EA = [Rn + Rm]
c) EA = [Rn] + Rm
d) EA = [Rm] + Rn
View Answer
Explanation: Effective address is the address that the computer acquires from the current instruction being executed.
