Introduction
Computer Architecture
Computer Organization
• Attributes of a system visible to the • Instruction set, number of
programmer bits used to represent
• Have a direct impact on the logical various data types, I/O
execution of a program mechanisms, techniques for
addressing memory

Architectural
Computer attributes
Architecture include:

Organizational
Computer
attributes
Organization
include:

• Hardware details transparent to the • The operational units and


programmer, control signals, interfaces their interconnections that
between the computer and peripherals, realize the architectural
memory technology used specifications
+ IBM System
370 Architecture
 IBM System/370 architecture
 Was introduced in 1970
 Included a number of models
 Could upgrade to a more expensive, faster model without having to abandon
original software
 New models are introduced with improved technology, but retain the same
architecture so that the customer’s software investment is protected
 Architecture has survived to this day as the architecture of IBM’s mainframe
product line

Structure and Function

 Hierarchical system
 Structure
 Set of interrelated subsystems
 The way in which components
 Hierarchical nature of complex relate to each other
systems is essential to both their
 Function
design and their description
 The operation of individual
 Designer need only deal with a components as part of the
particular level of the system at a structure
time
 Concerned with structure and
function at each level
+
Function

 A computer can perform four


basic functions:

● Data processing
● Data storage
● Data movement
● Control

The
Computer
Structure
+
- CPU – controls the operation of the
computer and performs its data
There are four processing functions
main structural
components - Main Memory – stores data
of the computer: - I/O – moves data between the
computer and its external
environment

- System Interconnection – some


mechanism that provides for
communication among CPU, main
memory, and I/O
+  Control Unit
CPU  Controls the operation of the CPU and
hence the computer
Major structural
 Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU)
components:  Performs the computer’s data processing
function

 Registers
 Provide storage internal to the CPU

 CPU Interconnection
 Some mechanism that provides for
communication among the control unit,
ALU, and registers
