The computer can be made to perform different

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.
