2 Give 2 possible disadvantages of computerising a system
3 Give 2 possible disadvantages of computerising a system - Dependency : users may grow increasingly dependent on the computerised system such that work suffers a lot of the system is temporarily unavailable - Data security against hacking and data theft leads can be expensive, and there is still always the risk of security breaches.
4 Why is a compiler better suited than an interpreter for program distribution?
5 Why is a compiler better suited than an interpreter for program distribution? A compiler produces object code. Object code can be saved and directly executed later on. So object code can be distributed to run without further translation. So the actual code will not be seen by the user if a compiler is used which is desirable when distributing a program.however no object code is created with an interpreter. Also, if using a compiler, when a loop is run the translation is only done once, with an interpreter the loop is translated every time the program loops. Therefore an interpreted program will run slower when executing a loop.
6 What is the address space of a CPU with a 32 bit address bus? How does the address bus effect computer performance?
7 What is the address space of a CPU with a 32 bit address bus? How does the address bus effect computer performance? 2 32 Address space determines the number of memory locations that can be directly accessed by the CPU, so the greater the address space the more RAM the CPU can use. Having more RAM ensures more applications can run simultaneously and smoothly.
8 Give 2 advantages of computerising a system
9 Give 2 advantages of computerising a system Computers are more reliable and consistent than humans: so they may help avoid errors an accidents. When dealing with large volumes of data it is faster and more efficient to search for data on a computerised system than have humans do so.
10 What is the Internet? How is it different from the WWW?
11 What is the Internet? How is it different from the WWW? The internet is a global network of computers connected together in such a way as to be able to exchange data. The www is only part of the internet it is a system of interlinked hypertext documents contained on the internet.
12 Give 2 uses of the Internet in: Education Commerce
13 Give 2 uses of the Internet in: Education Online testing: online tests are efficient because they can be corrected by the system and hence give a student immediate results Video conferencing: this can be used to expose students to realities outside their school without the expense and time wastage of travelling: e.g. to discuss issues with experts or other students in other countries Commerce E-commerce: the selling of items on the internet using auction sites etc Advertising: online advertising is a very good way of reaching potential client.
14 What is Assistive Technology (AT)? Name an output and an input device used in AT
15 What is Assistive Technology (AT)? Name an output and an input device used in AT Assistive Technology (AT) refers to technology that allows greater independence for people with disabilities by enabling them to perform tasks that they were unable to accomplish before, or had great difficulty accomplishing, by providing new methods of using technology Input device: Output device: braille keyboard braille printer
16 What is the role of the ALU in a computer?
17 What is the role of the ALU in a computer? The ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) carries out the computer s mathematical functions and comparison operations
18 What is the role of the Control Unit in a computer?
19 What is the role of the Control Unit in a computer? The Control Unit is responsible for: locating, decoding and executing each instruction in a program data transfer between memory and peripheral devices
20 What are mnemonics and symbolic addressing?
21 What are mnemonics and symbolic addressing? Mnemonics are short, abbreviated words used in Assembly Language instead of binary patterns (e.g. LDA) Symbolic addressing is the use of variable names to refer to memory addresses. (e.g. num1)
22 Distinguish between the following three types of addressing Direct Addressing Immediate Addressing Symbolic Addressing
23 Distinguish between the following three types of addressing Immediate Addressing the instruction itself contains the value to be used. Eg. MOV A, #20h the value to be used is 20h Direct Addressing the instruction tells where the value can be found, but the value itself is out in memory. Eg. MOV A, 30h the values is found in memory location 30h Symbolic Addressing symbolic addressing the address of a store location is specified by means of an identifier, rather than the numeric value of the memory address. Eg. MOV A, num1 the value is stored in the variable num1
24 Distinguish between opcode and operand
25 Distinguish between opcode and operand Opcode is the code specifying the action to be carried out (eg. Add) Operand is the value on which the action is to be carried out or the address in memory where this value is stored (eg. 5)
26 Give 2 advantages and 2 disadvantages of using a LLL rather than a HLL
27 Give 2 advantages and 2 disadvantages of using a LLL rather than a HLL Advantages LLL run faster because they are closer to machine code Programs in LLL need less system resources to run Disadvantages Difficult to program in because they require a good knowledge of machine architecture Programs in LLL are not portable

49 Distinguish between serial and direct access Serial access means going through everything one by one, starting at the beginning, until you reach the item you want. If you wanted to print all the names in a database, using serial access would be fine because you are starting at the first and going right through to the end. Direct access means going straight to the item you want without having to go through other ones.
