What is the definition of a synchronous computer and how does it differ from an asynchronous computer?
A synchronous computer is a type of computer where all operations are coordinated by a clock signal. This means that all components of the computer work in a synchronized manner, following the same clock signal. On the other hand, an asynchronous computer does not rely on a central clock signal to coordinate operations. Instead, each component operates independently and communicates with each other using handshaking signals. This allows for more flexibility and potentially faster operation, but can also be more complex to design and implement.
What is the clock cycle time for the processor in this system?
The clock cycle time for the processor in this system is the duration it takes for one complete cycle of the clock signal, determining the speed at which the processor can execute instructions.
If a disk drive becomes active the disk controller provides this information to the CPU over the bus?
This is most likely the Control Bus the will send a signal to the CPU that the disk drive became active. If you noticed, eveytime you insert a CD, in Windows, a dialog pops up asking the user what to do. This occurs because the controller for this device sends that signal through the Control Bus which interupts the CPU.
