Flashcards
Reverse Polish notation
Reverse Polish notation
A method of representing mathematical expressions where operators appear after their operands, rather than between them. It's like a postfix notation.
SIMD
SIMD
A computer architecture designed to execute multiple instructions simultaneously. It uses multiple processing units under a single controller, speeding up operations by processing data in parallel.
Floating Point Representation
Floating Point Representation
A representation of real numbers in computers. It allows for storing numbers with both whole and fractional parts.

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.
