Introduction to Computer Organization and Architecture
Instruction Set Architecture
Computer Architecture is often called?
bus
It is a set of wires used to interconnect the different components of the system
CPU
It is responsible for executing the instructions of a program and for coordinating the activities of the other system components.
Computer Architecture
It is the design of computers, including their instruction sets, hardware components, and system organization.
word
It is the natural unit of data used by a particular processor design. It is a fixed-sized piece of data handled as a unit by the instruction set or the hardware of the processor.
CU
It is the nerve center of a computer.
Computer Architecture and Organization
It is the study of the internal working, structuring, and implementation of a computer system.
Computer Organization
It is the underlying implementation of the architecture which is transparent to the programmer. It encompasses all physical aspects of computer systems.
ALU
It is where all arithmetic and logic operations and manipulation of numbers take place.
Computer Architecture
It refers to the understanding of the components that make up the computer and the way they are interconnected
Von Neumann Architecture
Most computers use what architecture?
Principle of Equivalence of Hardware and Software
Anything that can be done with software can also be done with hardware, and anything that can be done with hardware can also be done with software.
Addresses
These are numbers that identify successive locations.
Secondary Memory
This is where all programs and data are stored on a more permanent basis.
Fetch-Decode-Execute Architecture
Von Neumann Architecture is also called?
