Directions for Questions 11-15:
Readthe passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the
information provided in the passage.
Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from
miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor
Integrated Circuit (IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs
were made from individual small-scale Integrated Circuits
containing the equivalent of only a few transistors. By integrating the
processor onto one or a very few large-scale Integrated Circuit packages
(containing the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete transistors),
the cost of processor power was greatly reduced. The evolution of
microprocessors has been known to follow Moore's Law when it comes to steadily
increasing performance over the years. This law suggests that the complexity of
an Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum component cost will double in
about 18 months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the
continued increase in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over
every other form of computer; every system from the largest mainframes to the
smallest handheld computers now uses a microprocessor at their core. .As with
many advances in technology, the microprocessor was an idea wbose time had come.
Three projects arguably delivered a complete microprocessor at about the same
time: Intel's 4004, Texas Instruments' TMS1000, and Garrett AiResearch's Central
Air Data Computer. .
A computer-on-a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor, which combines the
microprocessor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one
chip. The proper meaning of microcomputer is a computer using a (number of)
microprocessor(s) as its CPU(s), while the concept of the patent is somewhat
more similar to a micro controller.
11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?
A) Electronic computer
B) Central Processing Unit
C) Memory disk
D) A single integrated chip circuit.
12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.
A) 11icroprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.
B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper.
C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small scale ICs.
D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.
13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?
A) Microsoft
B) Intel
C) Texas Instruments
D) Garret
14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors?
A) Drivers for calculators
B) Core for large mainframes
C) Advanced mobile phones
D) Used for small handheld computers
15) "A number of microprocessors at its CPU" is an apt description of a:
A) 11icro-controller
B) Micro-computer
C) Micro-processor
D) Micro-transistor
Directions for Questions 16-20:
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the
information provided in the passage.
Dynamic Link Libraries
Windows provides several files called dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that contain
collections of software code that perform common functions such as opening or
saving a file. When Windows application wants to use one of those functions or
routines, the app sends a message to Windows with the names of the DLL file and
the function. This procedure is known as calling a function. One of the most
frequently used DLLs is Windows COMMDLG.DLL, which includes among others, the
functions to display File Open, File Save, Search, and Print dialog boxes. The
application also sends any information the DLL function will need to complete
the operation. For example, a program calling the Open File function in
COMMDLG.DLL would pass along a file spec, such as *. * or *.DOC, to be displayed
in the dialog box's Filename text box. The application also passes along a
specification for the type of information it expects the DLL to return to the
application when the DLL's work is done. The application, for example, may
expect return information in the form of integers, true/false values, or text.
Windows passes the responsibility for program execution to the DLL, along with
the parameters and the return information the DLL will need. The specific DLL is
loaded into memory, and then executed by the processor. At this point the DLL,
rather than the application, runs things. The DLL performs all the operations
necessary to communicate with Windows and, through Windows, with the PC's
hardware. After the DLL function is complete, the DLL puts the return
information into
memory, where it can be found by the application, and instructs Windows to
remove the DLL routine from memory. The application inspects the return
information, which usually tells whether the DLL function was able to execute
correctly. If the operation was a success, the application continues from where
it left off before issuing the function call. If the operation failed, the
application displays an error message.
16) By using DLLs, Windows:
A) Saves processing time
B) Multitasks
C) Shares program code
D) Communicates with PCs hardware
17) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:
A) Searches and copies it in the application code and executes it
B) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routine
C) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes it
D) Searches the location of the routine and instructs the application to execute
it
18) Which information does an application need to passto Windows to use a DLL
routine?
A) Just the name of the routine
B) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine to be executed in
return
C) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parameters
D) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of information to be
returned
19) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is executing, the calling
application:
A) Waits for the routine to execute
B) Continues with other tasks
C) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with Windows and through
Windows with the PC's hardware
D) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL and is removed from
memory
20) The DLL function after execution returns:
A) The parameters and information into memory, where it can be inspected by the
calling application
B) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
C) To the calling application the information required by it so that it can
inspect it
D) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether the
function operation was a success
