Question 1a. The earlier machines were using the hardwired mechanism to control the function of processes of the computer. Discuss the components of the Von Neumann Architecture that moved the functions of the computers from a Special purpose machine to a universal (General) machine. b. Almost all computer users think during multitasking processes, the CPU is actually processing all tasks given to concurrently. Explain to the ordinary user, with the help of one memory management technique and interrupts, what really happens during multitasking.

Question 2a. Balancing performance between processor, memory, buses, and peripheral devices, is almost impossible as due to constant evolving nature of certain two major factors. Identify these factors and discuss how their nature hinders the attempt to keep these devices in balance.
b. During an optimal use of the computer, where there are several applications running the CPU usage would usually be amount only 37%, which means that the CPU is idle most of the time and hence being inefficient. Discuss using at least two or more jobs, how Interrupts would help boost the efficiency of the machine and reduce idle times.
Question 3a. As a computer manufacturer, you are faced with the challenge of designing quality machines with very excellent processing speed, which should also be affordable to all. Discuss a mechanism you would employ to produce a high-quality machine with good speed but at an affordable cost.
b.Use the Fetch Decode Execution steps to execute the assembly language into machine instructions and execute the instruction as the computer would. Explain into detail what happens during the execution of each statement.#Machinecode0001 1 1111001010 0 1100002001 1 1010003010 0 1101114001 0 1100005011 0 1101116010 0 1110007111 0 000000
