3. Ch1a- 2 EE/CS/CPE 3760 - Computer Organization  Seattle Pacific University Our domain We are interested primarily with CPU-related functions A single chip, often with several CPUs on it Also, we’re interested in memory systems The important parts we care about are... Cache (on-chip, or close to the CPU) Virtual memory (includes the disk drive) 1.4 Intel Core 2 Extreme Mobile X7900

8. Ch1a- 7 EE/CS/CPE 3760 - Computer Organization  Seattle Pacific University Things change... NO! (at least not everything) Basic concepts stay the same CPU/Memory interface Instruction execution Instruction sets Memory hierarchy Even the details don’t change too fast Caches, Virtual memory, Pipelines all look similar to the way they’ve always looked The technology changes, the concepts remain ? Will everything you learn in this course be obsolete next year?
