what is a six-level computer ?

I need a complete explanation please because there were two questions in last year's exam that might come in this year's exam..

[FONT=&quot]( Q. 3 Describe the role of Application programmer and System programmer with the help of a diagram for a six-level computer.[/FONT] )

I know the role of the two programmers, but I dont know what a six-level computer is.
[FONT=&quot] ( Q.4.1.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=&quot]_______________ level is hybrid level in a six-level computer.[/FONT] )

    Hi q8ysurgeon !

    As far as I came to know about it from google.

    A six-level computer just means it's a computer that is designed up to the 6th level of computer architecture.
    Leveling starts at 0.

    Level 0 - Digital Logic Level (The language talking directly to the circuits)
    Level 1 - Microarchitecture level
    Level 2 - Instruction set level
    Level 3 - OS machine level
    Level 4 - Assembly Language level
    Level 5 - Progran-Oriented language level (Compiled languages like Java, C, Basic, etc.)

    See the diagrams below to make it more clear

    In general,

    A multi-level computer describes the computer architecture complexity of the computer languages a computer is able to interpret and understand.
    It goes from the lowest level which is the native language a machine can understand. But the lower the level, the more difficult it is for humans to understand and program. So you build a machine capable of interpreting higher level languages which are more human understandable. But because a machine's circuitry cannot understand these higher level languages, they have to be translated into the lower level instructions, so they also run slower.
    Following figure show how an N-level computer architecuture seems.

    Now I guess you can decide which Programmer do what work at which level of such computers.

    And I am not clear about your second question i.e. with "hybrid level" . In what sense it should be hybrid?
    Application and System Programmers sense
    or
    Language

    Please clear about it. 😀

    Thanks
