What refers to the number of bits that a microprocessor can manipulate at one time?
As quoted from Google Books, "Word size refers to the number of bits that a microprocessor can manipulate at one time."
What is a measure of the number of bits of data that can be transferrred along the data pathway at one time?
Parallelism
What in a computer moves 8 bits at a time?
8 bits totals one byte where one byte is roughly a single character such as 'A' or '1'
A combination of eight 0s and 1's binary digit is reffered to?
A binary number containing eight bits is referred to as one "Byte". A binary number containing four bits is referred to as one "Nibble".
How may bits are needed to represent the decimal number 200?
log2 200 = ln 200 ÷ ln 2 = 7.6... → need 8 bits. If a signed number is being stored, then 9 bits would be needed as one would be needed to indicate the sign of the number.
What term number of bit central processing unit can process at one time?
Word length is the number of bits that can be processed at one time.
State the purpose of word size?
the number of bits process at one time
The theoretical number of bits that can be transmitted over a network at one time?
Bandwidth
Whose transmission rate is faster?
The one who transmits more data bits in the same length of time, or the same number of data bits in less time, has the faster transmission rate.
The largest number of bits the processor can process in one operation?
The largest number of bits a CPU can process is word size. A CPU's Word Size is the largest number of bits the CPU can process in one operation.
How many bits could the first microprocessor handle at one time?
The first microprocessor was the 4004. It could handle 4 bits at a time.
What is the smallest number of host bits that must be left in the host field when subnetting an IP address?
one number of host bits must be left when you doing subnetting.
What is the minimum number of bits that would be required to encode only alphabetic data?
A bit of memory holds a single character. Therefore the minimum number of bits would be one, but you would need one for each character of data.
What are the possible applications of the Universal shift registers?
A shift register is used for multiplying and devision. If a binary number of say Bin. 100101 (37 Dec.) is multiplied by 2 the bits have to be left shifted one time and the number will then be Bin. 1001010 (74 Dec.) and to divide by 2 the bits have to be right shifted
How bits are in a byte?
Eight bits are in one byte
How many bits are in a megabite?
There are 1,000,000 or 106 bits in a megabit.
How many bits does a serial port transmit at a time?
Serial ports transmit data one bit at a time, which is why they are becoming obsolete.
