Study Notes
Introduction to Computer Architecture
- Computer architecture involves the structure and function of different components and how they interact with each other
- Data processing in computer architecture involves basic methods for handling data, regardless of its form
- Computers temporarily store and process data, as well as store files for future use as part of data storage
- Data movement in computer architecture includes input-output (I/O) and data communications for transferring data
- Control units manage computer resources and coordinate functional parts in response to instructions
- Von Neumann architecture introduced the stored-program concept, credited to John von Neumann and Alan Turing
- The stored-program concept was first used in the IAS computer in 1945
- The stored-program concept revolutionized computer architecture by allowing instructions to be stored in memory
- The stored-program concept enables the flexibility of changing programs without altering the computer's hardware
- The stored-program concept laid the foundation for modern computer architecture and programming
- The Von Neumann architecture has been influential in the development of computer systems and programming languages
- The Von Neumann architecture remains a fundamental concept in computer architecture and design
