applications as it has the possibility or flexibility of
performing applications. All things are stored in main memory. Harvard architecture:- Used before von neumann arch. And consisted of only a control unit. ● c=a+b ● a, b:data ● +,=:instructions Both Data and Instructions are stored in main memory. When data comes from Memory to cpu, it gets stored in registers which is personally stored in registers which is the fastest storage unit even better than cache. Bottleneck of von neumann architecture:-Your cpu may be the fastest but if the memory is slow, then cpu can do nothing, so it has to be idle, so speed of cpu is determined by its memory.
A program counter is a register in a computer
processor that contains the address (location) of the instruction being executed at the current time. A special purpose register is one that has a specific control or data handling task to carry out. The general purpose register can store a data or a memory location address. Moore’s law: The Technology will get very advanced and computers will get smaller and smaller. No. of transistors on the chip will be increased and speed will get very advanced and the size of Computers will get smaller and smaller.
The number of transistors will be increased then the
cpu will get fast and the size of computer will get decreased. That’s moore’s law. A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power.
