    Study Notes

    Operating Systems & Computer Architecture: Data Representation

    • The presentation covers digital and analog signals, number representation, number bases, number base arithmetic, and number base conversion.
    • Learning outcomes include comparing and differentiating between analog and digital signals, explaining data representation, storage, and manipulation within a computer, and performing number base conversions.
    • Key terms include base, binary arithmetic, binary number, binary point, binary-decimal conversion, binary-hexadecimal conversion, binary-octal conversion, bit, decimal point, decimal-binary conversion, fractional conversion, hexadecimal-binary conversion, hexadecimal number, left shift, mixed number conversion, octal number, radix point, and right shift.
    • Computing systems are finite machines with limited information storage capacity. Their goal is representing real-world data. Information can be represented as either analog or digital.
    • Analog data is a continuous representation. For example, a mercury thermometer's mercury level changes continuously in proportion to temperature.
    • Digital data is a discrete representation, breaking information into separate elements. Computers require digitization of analog information into binary digits.
    • Digital signals degrade less when transmitted across a line than analog. This is due to digital signals sharply jumping between high and low states.
    • Digital signals can be reclocked to regain their original shape after degradation, which does not apply to analog signals.
    • Early computer design was decimal but John Von Neumann introduced binary data processing in 1945. This binary system is simpler to design and based on switching between on and off, used to perform calculations through Boolean logic.
    • The decimal system is base 10, using digits from 0-9. The binary system is base 2, using digits 0 and 1. The octal system is base 8 (0-7). The hexadecimal system is base 16 (0-9, A-F).
    • Bits are commonly stored and manipulated in groups of 8 bits (1 byte), 4 bytes (1 word). The number of bits used affects accuracy and limits the size of numbers a computer can handle, like impacting computer graphics.
    • Game consoles have evolved using more bits for their processors such as 8 bits to 64 bits and greater.
    • Different numerals can represent the same number of quantities. For example; |||| and IV represent 4. However, different bases imply the same quantity using different number of digits (|||| represents 4 in base 1, and IV represents 4 in base 10).
    • Modern number systems are based on positional notation, where each digit has a different value depending on its position. This is further explained through examples of base 10, base 8, and base 16. Examples of positional notation are illustrated further through examples using binary.
    • The range of possible numbers based on the base and the number of digits. For example, a 16-bit PC can store 65,536 distinct values.
    • Conversion methods between bases and arithmetic tables for each base are provided for various bases. Examples show decimal to binary, decimal to hexadecimal, and octal to decimal conversions.
    • Addition, multiplication, and XOR/AND Boolean arithmetic functions are demonstrated.
    • Converting between bases 10, 2, and 16 are demonstrated and explained.
    • Methods for converting numbers between base 8 and base 10 are provided.

    Additional Information

    • The presentation concludes with Q&A and a segue to the next topic, logic gates.
