Study Notes

Reverse Polish Notation

Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) expression for AB+CD is AB*CD*+

SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data)

SIMD represents an organization where many processing units operate under a single control unit.

Floating Point Representation

Floating point representation is used to store real integers (numbers with decimal points).

Assembly Language

Assembly language uses alphabetic codes in place of binary machine language codes.

Subtraction in Computers

Subtraction in computers is typically performed using the 2's complement method.

Rotational Latency

Rotational latency measures the time it takes for the desired sector of a hard disk platter to rotate under the read/write head.

RAM Memory

RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile memory, meaning its contents are lost when the power is turned off. This makes it unsuitable for permanent storage.

Addressing Modes

Computers use addressing modes to provide programming flexibility and to modify or interpret the address portion of instructions. These techniques also reduce the number of bits needed for the instructions.

Circuit for Storing One Bit

A flip-flop is the circuit used to store a single bit of data.
