Study Notes
Computer Organization
- The three main components of basic computer organization are:
- Input/Output (I/O) units
- Memory units
- Central Processing Unit (CPU)
System Bus
- The system bus is a communication pathway that allows different components of a computer to exchange data
- It interconnects the CPU, memory, and I/O devices
Instruction Management
- The control unit is responsible for managing the flow of instructions within the CPU
- It retrieves and decodes instructions, generates control signals, and manages data transfer
Instruction Set
- The instruction set architecture (ISA) determines the type of instructions processed by a computer
- ISA defines the syntax and semantics of the instructions that a computer can execute
Instruction Set Completeness
- The instruction set architecture (ISA) ensures the completeness of the instruction set in a computer
- ISA specifies the format and behavior of each instruction, ensuring that the computer can execute a complete set of instructions
