Problem 1: Defining Properties (do 6 of 8 for 36 pts)

***Answer this problem in the exam booklet***

FOR FULL CREDIT, YOUR ANSWER MUST INCLUDE THE ITEM NUMBER, THE TERM THAT YOU ARE DEFINING, AND A COMPLETE DEFINITION, IN THE EXAM BOOKLET.

Too often we confuse ``how something works'' with ``what this is''. So, you must tell me what these things are or what the terms mean, for full credit. Partial credit will be given for examples and for partial answers. However, our intent is for you to capture a complete definition of (6) six of the following terms in the context of our our course. If you do more, we will only give credit for the first six (6) we see.

1.1

clock rate

1.4
