1. What is a computer system?
A computer system consists of hardware system and software system. The hardware

A computer system 1 of hardware system and software system. The
hardware of the computer is usually divided into three major parts or three 2 subsystems: the CPU, the memory subsystem, and the I/O 3 . The CPU is made up of three major parts, Register Set, the 4 logic unit, or ALU, and Control Unit. It performs many operations and controls computer. Memory is also known as 5 memory or main memory, which is cataloged into two major types of memory: Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM).It
refers to the 6 in the computer that hold whatever programs and data are available 7 immediate use by the CPU, along with the program’s data. Computer systems include special hardware 8 between the CPU and peripherals to supervise and synchronize all input and output transfers. These components are called 9 units because they interface between the
processor bus and the peripheral device. The I/O subsystem allows the CPU to 10 with input and output devices.

为了保证内部和外部控制信号的序列正确，控制单元保证CPU和计算机的其他部件提供需要正确执行的指令操作。
2. In a computer with virtual memory, less-used parts of programs are shifted from RAM to a hard disk and are moved back only when needed.
在使用了虚拟存储器的计算机中，很少使用的程序从RAM被移到硬盘中，仅当需要时才被移回来。
3. A technique used to compensate for the mismatch in operating speeds is to employ an extremely fast, small cache between the CPU and main memory whose access time is close to processor logic clock cycle time.
为了弥补操作速度的不匹配，在CPU和主存之间采用非常快的小缓存，它的存取时间接近于处理器的逻辑时钟周期。
4. The data transfer rate of peripherals is usually slower than the transfer rate of the CPU, and consequently, a synchronization mechanism may be needed.
外设的数据传输速率通常比CPU的传输速率慢，因此就需要一个同步装置。 5. In some computers the interrupt vector is an address that points to a location in memory where the beginning address of the I/O service routine is stored.
在一些计算机中，中断向量是一个地址，它指向存储器中存储I/O服务程序起始地址的单元。
