2. Architecture & Organization Architecture refers to those attributes of a computer 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 refers to how the features are implemented —Control signals, interfaces, memory technology. —e.g. Is there a hardware multiply unit or is it done by repeated addition?

3. Architecture & Organization 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 Organization differs between different versions

4. 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

31. Microelectronics Literally - “small electronics” A computer is made up of gates, memory cells and interconnections These can be manufactured on a semiconductor e.g. silicon wafer

32. Generations of Computer Vacuum tube - 1946-1957 Transistor - 1958-1964 Small scale integration - 1965 on —Up to 100 devices on a chip Medium scale integration - to 1971 —100-3,000 devices on a chip Large scale integration - 1971-1977 —3,000 - 100,000 devices on a chip Very large scale integration - 1978 to date —100,000 - 100,000,000 devices on a chip Ultra large scale integration —Over 100,000,000 devices on a chip

33. Moore’s Law Increased density of components on chip Gordon Moore - cofounder of Intel Number of transistors on a chip will double every year Since 1970’s development has slowed a little —Number of transistors doubles every 18 months Cost of a chip has remained almost unchanged Higher packing density means shorter electrical paths, giving higher performance Smaller size gives increased flexibility Reduced power and cooling requirements Fewer interconnections increases reliability

34. Growth in CPU Transistor Count

IBM 360 series 1964 Replaced (& not compatible with) 7000 series First planned “family” of computers —Similar or identical instruction sets —Similar or identical O/S —Increasing speed —Increasing number of I/O ports (i.e. more terminals) —Increased memory size —Increased cost Multiplexed switch structure

59. Program Concept Hardwired systems are inflexible General purpose hardware can do different tasks, given correct control signals Instead of re-wiring, supply a new set of control signals

60. What is a program? A sequence of steps For each step, an arithmetic or logical operation is done For each operation, a different set of control signals is needed

61. Function of Control Unit For each operation a unique code is provided —e.g. ADD, MOVE A hardware segment accepts the code and issues the control signals We have a computer!

62. Components The Control Unit and the Arithmetic and Logic Unit constitute the Central Processing Unit Data and instructions need to get into the system and results out —Input/output Temporary storage of code and results is needed —Main memory

63. Computer Components: Top Level View

64. Instruction Cycle Two steps: —Fetch —Execute

65. Fetch Cycle Program Counter (PC) holds address of next instruction to fetch Processor fetches instruction from memory location pointed to by PC Increment PC —Unless told otherwise Instruction loaded into Instruction Register (IR) Processor interprets instruction and performs required actions

66. Execute Cycle Processor-memory —data transfer between CPU and main memory Processor I/O —Data transfer between CPU and I/O module Data processing —Some arithmetic or logical operation on data Control —Alteration of sequence of operations —e.g. jump Combination of above
