Title: William Stallings Computer Organization and Architecture 6th Edition
1William Stallings Computer Organization and
Architecture6th Edition
2Architecture 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?
3Architecture 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
- Organization differs between different versions
4Structure Function
- Structure is the way in which components relate
to each other - Function is the operation of individual
components as part of the structure
5Function
- All computer functions are
- Data processing
- Data storage
- Data movement
- Control
6Functional view
7Operations (1) Data movement
8Operations (2) Storage
9Operation (3) Processing from/to storage
10Operation (4)Processing from storage to I/O
