I. Прочитайте текст и письменно ответьте на вопросы, следующие за ним.

 

  1. How do conventional computers attack problems? - Conventional computers attack problems one step at a time.
  2. How can advanced computers complete the problem more quickly? - Advanced computers are able to do several parts of the problem at once to complete it more quickly.
  3. What computational work does a processor do? – A processor does computational work such as addition, multiplication or the comparison of two numbers.
  4. What is a program? - Program is a computational task divided into a sequence of steps.
  5. Why does a processor operate slowly? – Because during each phase of a computation some part of the processor is idle
  6. How can one improve the speed of computation? Designers are designing systems in which many processors are linked together to form parallel processors or parallel computers.
  7. What is the aim of advanced computer architecture? - The aim is to have many computational steps taking place at any given time.
  8. What is a major source of slowness in conventional processors? - A major source of slowness in conventional processors is access to memory.
  9. What is the solution to this problem? - The solution to this problem is to design machines in which, while one operation is being executed, the next set of instructions is fetched from memory and decoded or divided into operations that can be done by various functional units.
