This chapter introduces computer organization and architecture. It discusses that computer organization refers to the operational units and interconnections that realize architectural specifications, while architecture attributes have a direct impact on programmers. The four main structural components of a computer are the CPU, main memory, I/O, and system interconnection. The CPU controls operations and has a control unit, ALU, and registers as major structural components.

William Stallings Computer Organization and Architecture 9th Edition + Chapter 1 Introduction Computer Architecture Computer Organization • Attributes of a system • Instruction set, number visible to the programmer of bits used to represent • Have a direct impact on various data types, I/O the logical execution of a mechanisms, techniques program for addressing memory
Architect Computer ural Architect attributes ure include: Organizat Computer ional Organizat attributes • Hardware details transparent ion • The operational units to the programmer, control include: and their signals, interfaces between interconnections that 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 + Operations
(a) Data movement + Operations
(b) Data storage +
Operations
(c) Data movement +
Operations
(d) 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 + Summary Introduction
