A level Computer Organization and Architecture quiz 1

16 Questions

Quiz Description

In this quiz, you will be opened to the exploration of how machines are usually built, how they operate and how they are designed, and lastly how they operate. Computer quizzes like this one are aimed at making you understand what computer machines are all about and teach you ways to maintain and upgrade them. The quiz will help someone studying the computer engineering field to produce faster, cheaper, more efficient, and easier-to-use machines because you will be able to make informed decisions instead of guessing and assuming.

Computer architecture deals with the design of computers, data storage devices, and networking components that store and run programs, also transmit data, and drive interactions between computers, across networks, and with users. Computer architects use parallelism and various strategies for memory organization in order to design computing systems with very high performance. 

These quizzes will be of much help to anyone preparing to write Computer-related Exams or anyone looking for challenging questions on Computer design. Take the quiz and Enjoy!!
