A 64-bit machine can handle 2 single words with how many memory in order to do fast processing?
Correct answer: D. Both (a) & (c)
- A. 8 byte
- B. 64 bits
- C. 128 bits
- D. Both (a) & (c)
Explanation
This is a possibility depending on the word size (as explained above).The question and the answer choices don't provide enough information to determine the exact amount of memory needed for fast processing.Here's why:Word size is not specified: While the question states it's a 64-bit machine and can handle 2 words, it doesn't specify the size of a word in bits. A word on a 64-bit machine can be 64 bits, but it could also be smaller depending on the architecture (e.g., 32 bits).Fast processing is subjective: There's no definition of "fast processing" in the question. The amount of memory needed for fast processing can vary depending on the specific task and the desired speed. Without additional information about the word size and the specific definition of "fast processing" in this context, it's impossible to definitively choose the best answer.
