Congestion causes choking of the communication medium. When too many packets are displayed in a method of the subnet, the subnet's performance degrades. Hence, a network's communication channel is called congested if packets are traversing the path and experience delays mainly over the path's propagation delay. There is two congestion ... Read More

Lexical Analysis has to access secondary memory each time to identify tokens. It is time-consuming and costly. So, the input strings are stored into a buffer and then scanned by Lexical Analysis.Lexical Analysis scans input string from left to right one character at a time to identify tokens. It uses ...

A hardwired control is a mechanism of producing control signals using Finite State Machines (FSM) appropriately. It is designed as a sequential logic circuit. The final circuit is constructed by physically connecting the components such as gates, flip flops, and drums. Hence, it is named a hardwired controller.The figure shows ... Read More

Vector processing is a central processing unit that can perform the complete vector input in individual instruction. It is a complete unit of hardware resources that implements a sequential set of similar data elements in the memory using individual instruction.The scientific and research computations involve many computations which require extensive ...

Stack is also known as the Last In First Out (LIFO) list. It is the most important feature in the CPU. It saves data such that the element stored last is retrieved first. A stack is a memory unit with an address register. This register influence the address for the ... Read More

A control unit whose binary control values are saved as words in memory is called a microprogrammed control unit.A controller results in the instructions to be implemented by constructing a definite collection of signals at each system clock beat. Each of these output signals generates one micro-operation including register transfer. ... Read More

Data mining functionalities are used to represent the type of patterns that have to be discovered in data mining tasks. In general, data mining tasks can be classified into two types including descriptive and predictive. Descriptive mining tasks define the common features of the data in the database and the ...

A set of flip-flops forms a register. A register is a unique high-speed storage area in the CPU. They include combinational circuits that implement data processing. The information is always defined in a register before processing. The registers speed up the implementation of programs.Registers implement two important functions in the ... Read More

A program consisting of the memory unit of the computer includes a series of instructions. The program is implemented on the computer by going through a cycle for each instruction.In the basic computer, each instruction cycle includes the following procedures −It can fetch instruction from memory.It is used to decode ...

The operands of the instructions can be located either in the main memory or in the CPU registers. If the operand is placed in the main memory, then the instruction provides the location address in the operand field. Many methods are followed to specify the operand address. The different methods/modes ... Read More
