What is Computer Architecture and Organization?

8
 Computer Architecture
⊡ The architecture of a computer
system can be considered as a
catalogue of tools or attributes that
are visible to the user such as
instruction sets, number of bits used
for data, addressing techniques, etc.
⊡ Logical Aspects of a Computer
System
⊡ The architecture refers to those
attributes of the system visible to the
programmer
⊡ “How fast we can run our system
hardware.”
9
Computer Organization
⊡ Organization of a computer system
defines the way system is structured
so that all those catalogued tools can
be used.
⊡ Physical Aspects of Computer System
⊡ Computer organization is used to
study the basic computer hardware
structure and behavior of digital
Computers. It answers the question,
⊡ “ How operations are carried out in
Computer?”
 Benefits and Importance of studying Computer Organization and Architecture.
• COA is necessary to understand the designing and functioning of the various components to
process information digitally.
• COA study focuses on the Interface between hardware and software.
• COA tells the way of operating hardware components and their interconnections in Computer.
• COA provides an organized way of working with different hardware components together in one
place.
• Computer organization says, “How to do?” and computer architecture says, “What to do?”.
• COA provides detailed knowledge of the system components, Circuit designs, Structure of
Instruction, Computer arithmetic, Assembly programming, processor control, logical design, and
performance method.
• COA proves that different computer organizations can use the same architecture. For example,
Intel and AMD make X86 CPU (processor is of 86 bits), but INTEL makes its organization on X86,
and AMD makes its own, which means the processor is 86 bits. Still, internal circuits, working,
interconnections will be different.
• COA subject helps the computer engineers to understand the components functioning, working,
characteristics, performance, and their interactions.

computer as well as between the computer and its
I/O devices
□ Specify the arithmetic and logic operations to be
performed
□ Program : A list of Instruction that perform a task
⊡ Data
□ Used as operands by the instructions
□ Source program
⊡ Encoded in binary code – 0 and 1.
30
 DATA
⊡ Data is to be processed
⊡ Compilation of High level language source program in to list of
machine instruction ( object Program)

object Program
Compiler
source program

⊡ Information chandelled by computer must encoded in suitable form.

⊡ Each number ,character or instruction is encoded as a string of
binary digits called bits.( 0 or 1)

Module-II Data Representation and Computer Arithmetic

31
 Input Unit

⊡ Computer accept coded information

⊡ Read the data
⊡ Example: keyboard, Joystick, mouse,Micrphone.
⊡ In keyboard when a key is pressed , the
corresponding letter or digit is automatically
translated into its corresponding binary code and
transmitted over a cable to the memory or
processor.

32
 Memory Unit
□ Store programs and data
□ Two classes of storage
□ Primary storage
■ Fastest
■ Programs must be stored in memory while they are being
executed
■ Large number of semiconductor storage cells
■ Processed in words Address : To provide easy access to
any word
■ RAM and memory access time
■ Memory hierarchy – cache, main memory
□ Secondary storage
■ larger Module-III Memory System
■ cheaper
⊡ In Computing, a Word is the natural unit of data
used by a particular processor design.
⊡ Word addressing means that address of memory
on a computer uniquely identify words of
memory.

34
 Arithmetic and Logic Unit
( ALU)

⊡ Most computer operations are executed in ALU of the

processor.
⊡ Load the operands into memory – bring them to the
processor – perform operation in ALU –store the result
back to memory or retain in the processor.
⊡ Registers – High speed storage element
⊡ Fast control of ALU
⊡ Faster than other devices connected to a computer which
enables a single processor to control external devices
( keyboard, display, sensors etc.)
35
 Output Unit

⊡ Send processed results to the outside world

⊡ Most common example is Printer, Graphical
Display
⊡ Very slow compare to processor speed.

36
 Control Unit

⊡ All computer operations are controlled by the control

unit.
⊡ The timing signals that govern the I/O transfers are also
generated by the control unit.
⊡ Control unit is usually distributed throughout the
machine instead of standing alone.

through an input unit and store it in the memory
⊡ Fetch the information stored in the memory, under
program control, into an ALU, where the information
is processed
⊡ Output the processed information through an output
unit
⊡ Control all activities inside the machine through a
control unit

42
 Registers
⊡ In Computer Architecture, the Registers are very fast computer
memory which are used to execute programs and operations
efficiently.
⊡ The sole purpose of having register is fast retrieval of data for
processing by CPU.
⊡ Different registers in Processor
□ Instruction Register (IR)
□ Program Counter ( PC)
□ General Purpose Register (R0 – Rn-1)
⊡ Different registers for Memory
□ Memory Address Register ( MAR)
□ Memory Data Register (MDR)

 Registers
⊡ Instruction Register (IR):
□ The IR holds the instruction which is just about to be executed.
□ The instruction from PC is fetched and stored in IR.
□ As soon as the instruction in placed in IR, the CPU starts executing the
instruction and the PC points to the next instruction to be executed.
⊡ Program Counter (PC):
□ Program Counter (PC) is used to keep the track of execution of the program.
□ It contains the memory address of the next instruction to be fetched.
□ PC points to the address of the next instruction to be fetched from the main
memory when the previous instruction has been successfully completed.
□ PC also functions to count the number of instructions.
⊡ General Purpose Registers:
□ These are numbered as R0, R1, R2….Rn-1, and used to store temporary data
during any ongoing operation.
□ Its content can be accessed by assembly programming.

45
 Memory Registers
⊡ Memory Address Registers (MAR):
It holds the address of the location to be accessed
from memory.

⊡ Memory Data Registers (MDR):

It contains data to be written into or to be read out
from the addressed location

MAR and MDR (Memory Data Register) together facilitate

the communication of the CPU and the main memory.

 Bus Structures

⊡ There are many ways to connect different parts inside a

computer together.
⊡ To achieve a reasonable speed of operation , a
computer must be organized so that all its units can
handle one full word of data at a given time.
⊡ A group of lines that serves as a connecting path for
several devices is called a bus.
□ Address
□ Data
□ Control
51
Bus is Pathway of Bits

52
53
54
 Single Bus Structure

Input Output Memory Processor

• A simple way to interconnect functional units is to use a single Bus

• Bus can be used for one transfer at a time
• Only two unit can actively use the bus at any given time.
• The bus control lines are used to arbitrate/decide the multiple request for
use the bus.
• Advantages: Low cost and flexibility for attaching peripherals device
55
 Speed of Operation

⊡ Different devices have different transfer/operate speed.

⊡ Device such as keyboard, printer are relatively slow
and magnetic disk is fast.
⊡ Memory and Processor units is faster part of computer
⊡ If the speed of bus is bounded by the slowest device
connected to it, the efficiency will be very low.
⊡ How to solve this?
⊡ A common approach – use buffer registers

56
 Buffer

⊡ The buffer registers with the devices to hold the information during
transfer.
⊡ Example : Consider the transfer of an encoded character from
processor to a Character Printer
□ The Processor sends the character over the bus to the printer
buffer.
□ Once the Buffer is loaded , the printer is start printing with out
ant further intervention by processor.
Advantages:
□ The buffer registers smooth out timing difference among
processors, memories and I/O device during sequence of data
transfer .
□ Allow processor to switch rapidly from one device to another
