∙ 13y ago1 byte = 8 bits.
2 bytes = 16 bits
That's what a "16-bit CPU" means.

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 parts is the CPU divided into?
4
What is the first CPU to include an internal math coprocessor?
486SX
Are arithmetic and logical operations carried out inside the CPU?
No, in on the MR
Which component of the CPU is responsible for preforming addition subtraction multiplication and division?
The ALU is.
How is they CPU speed measured?
bytes
How many bits can the HCS12 CPU manipulate in one operation?
As it is 16bit processor it can manupulate 16 bits in one operation
Can you eat a CPU?
No-too many bytes to be made :)
Why does the system idle process use a lot of CPU time?
The system idle process does not actually use any CPU time. It just merely calculates what percentage of the CPU is being used by your processes at any given time.
What is CPU burst time?
Burst time is an assumption of how long a process requires the CPU between I/O waits.It can not be predicted exactly, before a process starts. It means the amount of time a process uses the CPU for a single time. (A process can use the CPU several times before complete the job)
How process and threads relate to CPU architecture?
A process is a program in execution,it needs resources like CPU time,memory,files and i\o devices to accomplish its task. Threads are lightweight process
How should be the CPU switch time comparatively to process running time?
ya rjal adrs
What is the use of pslist?
Pslist lists detailed process information. It shows which process is running, the CPU time and Elapsed time of the process, along with other details
What is the different betweeb cooperative and preemptive?
Preemptive Multitasking basically involves the operating system sharing CPU time among many processes. An executing process is terminated when its time slice finished and the the CPU control is given to the next process. All processes get CPU time. In Cooperative Multitasking, however, one process can hold the CPU for as long as it needs it. For the cooperative to work, all programmes must cooperate, hence the name.
A computer has a 32 bit data bus what is the largest number that can be carried into the CPU at a time?
A 32 bit data bus can send out 4 bytes at a time and can take in 2^32 in addressable memory
What strategy can a computer user employ to maximize the amount of CPU time allocated to the user's process at multi level queue scheduling?
The program could maximize the CPU time allocated to it by not fully utilizing its time quantums. It could use a large fraction of its assigned quantum, but relinquish the CPU before the end of the quantum, thereby increasing the priority associated with the process.
What message does Windows Task Manager communicate when it shows System Idle Process running at a high percentage?
When the System Idle Process is running at a high percentage, it means that your computer isn't doing anything that requires much use of the CPU at that time. For example, if you are using 5% of your CPU, the System Idle Process will be using 95% of the CPU, which means that 95% of the CPU is not being used.
