10. The additional duplicate register used in ARM machines are called as _______ .
a) Copied-registers
b) Banked registers
c) EXtra registers
d) Extential registers
View Answer
Answer:b
Explanation: The duplicate registers are used in situations of context switching.
11. The banked registers are used for,
a) Switching between supervisor and interrupt mode
b) Extended storing
c) Same as other general purpose registers
d) Both a and c
View Answer
Answer:a
Explanation: When switching from one mode to another, instead of storing the register
contents somewhere else it’ll be kept in the duplicate registers and the new values are
stored in the actual registers.
