01 Introduction - PPT Compatibility Mode

This document provides an overview of key concepts from Chapter 1 of William Stallings' Computer Organization and Architecture textbook, including: - Architecture refers to attributes visible to programmers like instruction sets, while organization is how features are implemented internally. - Different versions of Intel and IBM systems share the same basic architectures but have differing internal organizations. - Structure refers to how components relate, while function is what individual components do as part of the structure. - The document outlines computer functions, operations, and provides a high-level overview of computer structure including the CPU, control unit, and peripherals.

William Stallings

Computer Organization
and Architecture
7th Edition
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

Operations (a) Data movement

Operations (b) Storage

Operation (c) Processing from/to storage

Operation (d)
Processing from storage to I/O
