Mechanism

Follow the mechanism step by step and distinguish what causes the change from what is merely observed.

This extension applies that lens specifically to Computer Organisation.

Computer Organisation

A stored-program computer fetches, decodes and executes instructions while registers, memory and storage occupy different levels of a hierarchy.

Core checkpoint: Distinguish fast volatile memory from persistent storage.

Computer Science Year 1 — Mechanism: Which statement best captures the core checkpoint for Computer Organisation?

Distinguish fast volatile memory from persistent storage.

Choose a solution before defining the evidence.

Ignore units, limits and boundary cases.

Assume the first result applies in every context.
