Explanation

• A mouse is primarily used in operating systems with a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
• As it allows users to interact with graphical elements like icons, windows, and menus.

Explanation

Topology refers to the physical or logical arrangement of network devices and how they are interconnected.

Explanation

• A logical address is generated by the CPU while a program is running.
• The logical address is a virtual address as it does not exist physically, therefore, it is also known as a Virtual Address.
  

Explanation

A  supercomputer is a computer that performs at a higher level than a general-purpose computer 

all the world's fastest 500 supercomputers have been running Linux-based operating systems since November 20017

while 

A personal computer (PC) is a multi-purpose computer 

A mainframe computer, often known as a big iron used largely by large enterprises

Explanation

SNARC is the First Neural network computer.

SNARC stands for spatial-numerical association of response codes

Explanation

An output device is any device used to send data from a computer to another device or user.

Explanation

Dynamic random-access memory (dynamic RAM or DRAM) is a type of random-access semiconductor memory that stores each bit of data in a memory cell,

usually consisting of a tiny capacitor and a transistor,

both typically based on metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) technology.

Explanation

The number of bits processed by the CPU as a unit is called Computer word

"Word size" refers to the number of bits processed by a computer's CPU in one go (these days, typically 32 bits or 64 bits).

Explanation

The execution time or CPU time of a given task is defined as the time spent by the system executing that:

the task, including the time spent executing run-time or system services on its behalf.

Explanation

The control unit (CU) coordinates the functions of a computer system.

The information stored in the memory unit (e.g. hard disk drive) is extracted and decoded 

and executed by the control unit to demand help from ALU whenever required.

CPU contains a register where the processing of arithmetic operations of data occurs.
