Book – chapter 1

1. Book – chapter 1 Computer Organization and Architecture By William Stallings Pub.: Prentice-Hall International, Inc.

2. Outline • Overview • The Computer System • The CPU • The Control Unit • Parallel Organization

3. Architecture & Organization 1 • Architecture is those attributes visible to the programmer • Instruction set, number of bits used for data representation, I/O mechanisms, addressing techniques. • e.g., Is there a multiply instruction? • Organization is how features are implemented • Control signals, interfaces, memory technology. • e.g., Is there a hardware multiply unit or is it done by repeated addition?

5. Architecture & Organization 2 • All Intel x86 family share the same basic architecture • The IBM System/370 family share the same basic architecture • This gives code compatibility • At least backwards • Q. Why not forward? • Organization differs between different versions

6. Structure & Function • Structure is the way in which components relate to each other • Function is the operation of individual components as part of the structure

7. Function is the operation of individual components as part of the structure All computer functions are: 1. Data movement 2. Data storage 3. Data processing – • from/to storage • from storage to I/O 4. Control

8. Possible Computer Operations (1) Data movement

9. Possible ComputerOperations (2) Data Storage

10. Possible ComputerOperation (3) Data Processing from/to storage

11. Possible Computer Operation (4)Data Processing from storage to I/O

12. Structure is the way in which components relate to each other The Computer • CPU • Controls the operation of the computer and performs its data processing functions. • Main memory • Stores data • I/O • Moves data between the computer and its external environment • System interconnection • Provides for communication among CPU, main memory, and I/O

13. Peripherals: Equipment, such as extra screens, printers, or plotters, that can be attached to a computer. Structure - Top Level Computer Peripherals – what is it? Main Memory CPU Computer Systems Interconnection Input Output Communication lines

14. Structure - The CPU CPU Computer Registers I/O ALU CPU System Bus Internal CPU Interconnection Memory Control Unit

15. Structure - The Control Unit Control Unit CPU Sequencing Logic ALU Control Unit Internal Bus Control Unit Registers and Decoders Registers Control Memory
