William Stallings Computer Organization and Architecture

Uploaded by

Robson Ferreira

This document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 1 of the book "Computer Organization and Architecture" by William Stallings. It defines architecture as the attributes visible to programmers, such as instruction sets, while organization is how features are implemented internally. It describes how architecture provides code compatibility while organization can differ between versions. The document then outlines the structure and functions of a basic computer and how data is processed, stored, and moved within it.

Computer Organization
and Architecture

Chapter 1
Introduction
Architecture & Organization 1

Architecture is those attributes visible to the


programmer
Instruction set, number of bits used for data
representation, I/O mechanisms, addressing
techniques.
e.g. Is there a multiply instruction?
Organization is how features are implemented
Control signals, interfaces, memory technology.
e.g. Is there a hardware multiply unit or is it done by
repeated addition?
Architecture & Organization 2

All Intel x86 family share the same basic


architecture
The IBM System/370 family share the same
basic architecture

This gives code compatibility


At least backwards
Organization differs between different versions
Structure & Function

Structure is the way in which components relate


to each other
Function is the operation of individual
components as part of the structure
Function

All computer functions are:


Data processing
Data storage
Data movement
Control
Functional view
