All My Circuits
THE CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT, OR CPU, HAS INTERNAL _______ CONNECTED BY CIRCUITS.
COMPONENTS
WHEN YOU LAUNCH AN APP IN THE OPERATING SYSTEM, THE APP GETS LOADED INTO MEMORY. THE IN-MEMORY VERSION OF AN APP IS CALLED THIS
PROCESS
BINARY
ON MICROSOFT WINDOWS, TO LAUNCH AN APP FROM ITS ICON, DO THIS
DOUBLE-CLICK THE ICON
WHEN THIS IS FED INTO THE CPU, ALL THE CORRECT CIRCUITRY IS CONNECTED IN ORDER TO PERFORM THE OPERATION REQUESTED
INSTRUCTION
WHEN A PROCESS IS LOADED INTO MEMORY, IT'S DIVIDED INTO THESE
SECTIONS OR SEGMENTS
PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS ARE WRITTEN IN THIS
MACHINE CODE
ON MICROSOFT WINDOWS, THIS FILE EXTENSION IS MOST COMMONLY ASSOCIATED WITH A PROGRAM
.EXE
AN INTERNAL COMPONENT OF THE CPU, IT DOES ALL THE MATH
ARITHMETIC LOGIC UNIT
RANGE OF ALL MEMORY ADDRESSES OCCUPIED BY A PROCESS WHILE IT IS IN MEMORY
ADDRESS SPACE
TRUE OR FALSE. THE CPU FETCHES INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ORDER THEY APPEAR (EXCEPT WHEN THE CPU IS INSTRUCTED TO JUMP)
TRUE
ON LINUX, A FILE HAS TO BE SET AS HAVING THIS PERMISSION BEFORE YOU CAN LAUNCH IT
EXECUTABLE
VERY FAST, BUT EXPENSIVE, MEMORY INTERNAL TO THE CPU
CACHE
THIS SECTION OF A PROCESS CONTAINS A DYNAMIC, JUMBLED MASS OF DATA
HEAP
INSTRUCTIONS IN A PROCESS ARE ____, DECODED, AND EXECUTED, ONE AT A TIME, BY THE CPU
FETCHED
WHEN AN EXECUTABLE FILE IS LAUNCHED, IT GETS READ AND LOADED INTO _______.
MEMORY
THE CPU CONTAINS LOTS OF THESE LITTLE SWITCHES
TRANSISTORS
THIS SECTION OF A PROCESS CONTAINS THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CPU
