Computer architecture From Citizendium, the Citizens' CompendiumJump to:navigation,searchaddthis_pub = 'citizendium';] This is adraft article, under development and not meant to be cited; you can help to improve it.intro]Computer architectureis often used to refer to an area of specialization within the academic discipline ofcomputer science.At other times, the phrasecomputer architecturemay be used to refer to a specific machine specification, such asSPARC,Intel X86,PowerPC, orMotorola 680x0.A more precise designation for specifying such machines isinstruction set architecture(ISA).In the 1980's, when computer architecture programs first began within computer science departments at various universities, heavy emphasis was placed on research related to designing better ISA's.Nowadays, the industry has converged on a few different ISA's and tends to rebuild them over and over again with faster hardware, so computer architecture has moved to focus more on the ways to speed up computer hardware and system-level software than on designing new ISA's.The academic discipline of computer architecture thus tends to overlap somewhat with fields calledcomputer engineering, or the like, that usually are located within the academic discipline ofelectrical engineering.The field known as computer architecture may touch all aspects of how specific computers can be specified, built, and verified (tested).This article will discuss the basics of computer organization, and related articles will expand on each basic part, since the design of computers involves a broad and complex set of technologiesntents1Basics of computer organization2Digital circuits3I/O devices4Programs4.1Libraries and operating systems5Alternative computing models5.showTocToggle) var tocShowText = "show"; var tocHideText = "hide"; showTocToggle(); Basics of computer organizationThe basic building blocks of anelectronic, general-purpose computer are theprocessor, thememory, and the input and output devices (collectively termed I/O).Each of these building blocks is connected to a shared "bus", which is a bundle of wires for conducting electrical signals equivalent to binary 0's or 1's.In this way, binary numbers (the "data" to be manipulated by the processor) can be transmitted from memory to processor, where it is changed and then the result moved back into memory.Later, from the memory, the data can then be transmitted over the bus to an output device such as a printer.Of course, since there was typically just one bus, each part of the computer had to wait its turn, and everything had to happen in the correct order over time.The movement of electrical signals ("information") through the building blocks of the computer is synchronized and coordinated by a special circuit, called theControl unit, by means of an electrical signal called aclockwhich the Control units sends to all the other parts of the computer.The firstelectronic, general-purpose computers had ACCU Dell U444C to be instructed how to manipulate data by physically rewiring theprocessorof the computer, while the memory of the computer contained thedatato be manipulated.But soon a huge conceptual breakthrough was made during the building of the Eniac in the 1940's.Eniac designers realized that a computer could be designed to store bothmachine instructionsandthe data to be manipulated in the computer's memory bank.This concept immediately became adopted in all subsequent computer designs and is still used today.Although he did not invent the concept, mathematician John von Neumann was the first to document it, and so sometimes the phraseVon Neumannarchitecture (orVon Neumanncomputer) has been used to describe putting the program, as well as the data, in a computer's memory.A computer's memory can be viewed as a list of cells, each with a unique, numbered "address".Each cell can store a small, fixed amount of information (a binary number).This binary number can either be an instruction, telling the computer what to do, ordatawhich the computer is to process according to the "program" or instructions.In principle, any cell can be used to store either instructions or data; in practice, computers are designed to help programmers make sure that instructions and data, while both stored somewhere in the memory, are not accidentally mixed up.The first is arithmetic operations; for instance, adding or subtracting two numbers together.The set of arithmetic operations may be very limited; indeed, some designs do not directly support multiplication and division operations (instead, users support multiplication and division through programs that perform multiple additions, subtractions, and other digit manipulations).The second class of ALU operations involvescomparisonoperations: given two numbers, determining if they are equal, or if not equal which is larger.The I/O systems are the means by which the computer receives information from the outside world, and reports its results back to that world.On a typical personal computer, input devices include objects like the keyboard andmouse, and output devices includecomputer monitors,printersand the like, but as will be discussed later a huge variety of devices can be connected to a computer and serve as I/O devices.Its job is to read instructions and data from memory or the I/O devices, decode the instructions, providing the ALU with the correct inputs according to the instructions, "tell" the ALU what operation to perform on those inputs, and send the results back to the memory or to the I/O devices.One key component of the control system is a counter that keeps track of what the address of the current instruction is; typically, this is incremented each time an instruction is executed, unless the instruction itself indicates that the next instruction should be at some other location (allowing the computer to repeatedly execute the same instructions).Since the 1980s the ALU and control unit (collectively called acentral processing unitor CPU) have typically been located on a singleintegrated circuitcalled amicroprocessor.The functioning of such a computer is in principle quite straightforward.Typically, on each clock cycle, the computer fetches instructions and data from its memory.The instructions are executed, the results are stored, and the next instruction is fetched.This procedure repeats until ahaltinstruction is encountered.The set of instructions interpreted by the control unit, and executed by the ALU, are limited in number, precisely defined, and very simple operations.Broadly, they fit into one or more of four categories: 1) moving data from one location to another (an example might be an instruction that "tells" the CPU to "copy the contents of memory cell 5 and place the copy in cell 10").2) executing arithmetic and logical processes on data (for instance, "add the contents of cell 7 to the contents of cell 13 and place the result in cell 20").3) testing the condition of data ("if the contents of cell 999 are 0, the next instruction is at cell 30").4) altering the sequence of operations (the previous example alters the sequence of operations, but instructions such as "the next instruction is at cell 100" are also standard)structions, like data, are represented within the computer asbinarycode 鈥?a base two system of counting.For example, the code for one kind of "copy" operation in the Intel x86 line of microprocessors is 10110000].The particular instruction set that a specific computer supports is known as that computer'smachine language.Using an already-popular machine language makes it much easier to run existing software on a new machine; consequently, in markets where commercial software availability is important suppliers have converged on one or a very small number of distinct machine languages.More powerful computers such asminicomputers,mainframe computersandserversmay differ from the model above by dividing their work between more than one main processor.Multiprocessingrefers to computation with multiple processors;multicore processorsare primarily ways to package more than one processors onto the sameintegrated circuit, although some multicore architectures do share on-chip resources among multiple processors.]]Supercomputersoften have highly unusual architectures significantly different from the basic stored-program architecture, sometimes featuring thousands of CPUs, but such designs tend to be useful only for specialized tasks.At the other end of the size scale, somemicrocontrollersuse theHarvard architecturethat ensures that program and data memory are logically separate.Digital circuitsThe conceptual design above could be implemented using a variety of different technologies.As previously mentioned, a stored program computer could be designed entirely of mechanical components likeBabbage's devices or theDigi-Comp I.However,digital circuitsallowBoolean logicandarithmetic using binary numbersto be implemented usingelectronic relays.Shannon's famous thesis showed how relays could be arranged to form units calledlogic gates, implementing simple Boolean operations.Others soon figured out thatvacuum tubes鈥?electronic devices, could be used instead.Vacuum tubes were originally used as a signalamplifierfor radio and other applications, but were used in digital electronics as a very fast switch; when electricity is provided to one of the pins, current can flow through between the other two.Through arrangements of logic gates, one can build digital circuits to do more complex tasks, for instance, anadder, which implements in electronics the same method 鈥?in computer terminology, analgorithm鈥?to add two numbers together that children are taught 鈥?add one column at a time, and carry what's left over.Eventually, through combining circuits together, a complete ALU and control system can be built up.CSIRAC, one of the earliest stored-program computers, is probably close to the smallest practically useful design.It had about 2,000 valves, some of which were "dual components"], so this represented somewhere between 2,000 and 4,000 logic components.Vacuum tubes had severe limitations for the construction of large numbers of gates.They were expensive, unreliable (particularly when used in such large quantities), took up a lot of space, and used a lot of electrical power, and, while incredibly fast compared to a mechanical switch, had limits to the speed at which they could operate.Therefore, by the 1960s they were replaced by thetransistor, a new device which performed the same task as the tube but was much smaller, faster operating, reliable, used much less power, and was far cheapertegrated circuitsare the basis of modern digital computing hardware the 1960s and 1970s, the transistor itself was gradually replaced by theintegrated circuit, which placed multiple transistors (and other components) and the wires connecting them on a single, solid piece of silicon.By the 1970s, the entire ALU and control unit, the combination becoming known as aCPU, were being placed on a single "chip" called amicroprocessor.Over the history of the integrated circuit, the number of components that can be placed on one has grown enormously.The first IC's contained a few tens of components; as of 2006, the Intel Core Duo processor contains 151 million transistors.]Tubes, transistors, and transistors on integrated circuits can be used as the "storage" component of the stored-program architecture, using a circuit design known as aflip-flop, and indeed flip-flops are used for small amounts of very high-speed storage.However, few computer designs have used flip-flops for the bulk of their storage needs.Instead, earliest computers stored data inWilliams tubes鈥?essentially, projecting some dots on a TV screen and reading them again, ormercury delay lineswhere the data was stored as sound pulses travelling slowly (compared to the machine itself) along long tubes filled with mercury.These somewhat ungainly but effective methods were eventually replaced by magnetic memory devices, such asmagnetic core memory, where electrical currents were used to introduce a permanent (but weak) magnetic field in some ferrous material, which could then be read to retrieve the data.A DRAM unit is a type of integrated circuit containing huge banks of an electronic component called acapacitorwhich can store an electrical charge for a period of time.The level of charge in a capacitor could be set to store information, and then measured to read the information when required.I/O devicesI/O (short for input/output) is a general term for devices that send computers information from the outside world and that return the results of computations.These results can either be viewed directly by a user, or they can be sent to another machine, whose control has been assigned to the computer: In arobot, for instance, the controlling computer's major output device is the robot itself.The first generation of computers were equipped with a fairly limited range of input devices.Apunch cardreader, or something similar, was used to enter instructions and data into the computer's memory, and some kind of printer, usually a modifiedteletype, was used to record the results.For the personal computer, for instance,keyboardsandmiceare the primary ways people directly enter information into the computer; andmonitorsare the primary way in which information from the computer is presented back to the user, thoughprinters,speakers, and headphones are common, too.There is a huge variety of other devices for obtaining other types of input.One example is thedigital camera, which can be used to input visual information.The first class is that ofsecondary storagedevices, such ashard disks,CD-ROMs,key drivesand the like, which represent comparatively slow, but high-capacity devices, where information can be stored for later retrieval; the second class is that of devices used to accesscomputer networks.The ability to transfer data between computers has opened up a huge range of capabilities for the computer.The globalInternetallows millions of computers to transfer information of all types between each other.ProgramsComputer programsare simply lists of instructions for the computer to execute.These can range from just a few instructions which perform a simple task, to a much more complex instruction list which may also include tables of data.Many computer programs contain millions of instructions, and many of those instructions are executed repeatedly.A typical modernPC(in the year 2005) can execute around 3 billion instructions per second.Computers do not gain their extraordinary capabilities through the ability to execute complex instructions.Rather, they do millions of simple instructions arranged by people known asprogrammers practice, people do not normally write the instructions for computers directly in machine language.Such programming is time-consuming and error-prone, making programmers less productive.Instead, programmers describe the desired actions in a "high level"programming languagewhich is then translated into the machine language automatically by special computer programs (interpretersandcompilers).Some programming languages map very closely to the machine language, such asAssembly Language(low level languages); at the other end, languages likePrologare based on abstract principles far removed from the details of the machine's actual operation (high level languages).The language chosen for a particular task depends on the nature of the task, the skill set of the programmers, tool availability and, often, the requirements of the customers (for instance, projects for the US military were often required to be in theAda programming language)puter softwareis an alternative term for computer programs; it is a more inclusive phrase and includes all the ancillary material accompanying the program needed to do useful tasks.For instance, avideo gameincludes not only the program itself, but also data representing the pictures, sounds, and other material needed to create the virtual environment of the game.Acomputer applicationis a piece of computer software provided to many computer users, often in a retail environment.The stereotypical modern example of an application is perhaps theoffice suite, a set of interrelated programs for performing common office tasks.Going from the extremely simple capabilities of a single machine language instruction to the myriad capabilities of application programs means that many computer programs are extremely large and complex.A typical example isWindows XP, created from roughly 40 millionlines of computer codein theC++programming language;]there are many projects of even bigger scope, built by large teams of programmers.The management of this enormous complexity is key to making such projects possible; programming languages, and programming practices, enable the task to be divided into smaller and smaller subtasks until they come within the capabilities of a single programmer in a reasonable period.Nevertheless, the process of developing software remains slow, unpredictable, and error-prone; the discipline ofsoftware engineeringhas attempted, with some success, to make the process quicker and more productive and improve the quality of the end product.A problem or a model iscomputationalif it is formalized in such way that can be transformed to the form of a computer ACCU Dell 312-0334 program.Computationality is the serious research problem of humanistic, social and psychological sciences, for example, modern systemics, cognitive and socio-cognitive]approaches develop different attempts to the computational specification of their "soft" knowledge.Libraries and operating systemsSoon after the development of the computer, it was discovered that certain tasks were required in many different programs; an early example was computing some of the standard mathematical functions.For the purposes of efficiency, standard versions of these were collected in libraries and made available to all who required them.A particularly common task set related to handling the gritty details of "talking" to the various I/O devices, so libraries for these were quickly developed.By the 1960s, with computers in wide industrial use for many purposes, it became common for them to be used for many different jobs within an organization.Soon, special software to automate the scheduling and execution of these many jobs became available.The combination of managing "hardware" and scheduling jobs became known as the "operating system"; the classic example of this type of early operating system wasOS/360byIBM.]The next major development in operating systems wastimesharing鈥?the idea that multiple users could use the machine "simultaneously" by keeping all of their programs in memory, executing each user's program for a short time so as to provide the illusion that each user had their own computer.Such a development required the operating system to provide each user's programs with a "virtual machine" such that one user's program could not interfere with another's (by accident or design).The range of devices that operating systems had to manage also expanded; a notable one washard disks; the idea of individual "files" and a hierarchical structure of "directories" (now often called folders) greatly simplified the use of these devices for permanent storage.Security access controls, allowing computer users access only to files, directories and programs they had permissions to use, were also common.Another major addition to the operating system was tools to provide programs with a standardizedgraphical user interface.While there are few technical reasons why a GUI has to be tied to the rest of an operating system, it allows the operating system vendor to encourage all the software for their operating system to have a similar looking and acting interface.With the rise of theInternetmost operating systems have a TCP/IP networking stack.Just as hard disks induced operating systems to come up with storage abstractions of files and directories, the network hardware induced abstractions such as sockets and URLs.The regular connection of computers to the Internet raised the importance of security in Operating Systems and as a result operating systems have had to adopt firewall, encryption, update and runtime protection functionalities.Outside these "core" functions, operating systems are usually shipped with an array of other tools, some of which may have little connection with these original core functions but have been found useful by enough customers for a provider to include them.For instance, Apple'sMac OS Xships with adigital video editorapplication.Operating systems for smaller computers may not provide all of these functions.The operating systems for earlymicrocomputerswith limited memory and processing capability did not, andEmbedded computerstypically have specialized operating systems or no operating system at all, with their custom application programs performing the tasks that might otherwise be delegated to an operating system.Alternative computing modelsDespite the massive gains in speed and capacity over the history of the digital computer, there are many tasks for which current computers are inadequate.For some of these tasks, conventional computers are fundamentally inadequate, because the time taken to find a solution grows very quickly as the size of the problem to be solved expands.Therefore, there has been research interest in some computer models that use biological processes, or the oddities ofquantum physics, to tackle these types of problems.For instance,DNA computingis proposed to use biological processes to solve certain problems.Because of the exponential division of cells, a DNA computing system could potentially tackle a ACCU Dell U4873 problem in a massively parallel fashion.However, such a system is limited by the maximum practical mass of DNA that can be handled.Quantum computers, as the name implies, take advantage of the unusual world of quantum physics.If a practical quantum computer is ever constructed, there are a limited number of problems for which the quantum computer is fundamentally faster than a standard computer.However, these problems, relating tocryptographyand, unsurprisingly, quantum physics simulations, are of considerable practical interest.These alternative models for computation remain research projects at the present time, and will likely find application only for those problems where conventional computers are inadequate.Other types of computersAnalog computerChemical computerDNA computerHuman computerMolecular nanotechnologyOptical computerQuantum computerWetware computerSee alsoUnconventional computing. http://www.comediesclub.com/index.php?do=/blog/14320/batterij-acer-as09f34/ http://w3gyanguru.com/index.php?do=/blog/44268/as09f34/ http://www.tokenminds.com/index.php?do=/blog/45179/dell-branded-lto-3-tape-improves-data-protection/ http://www.libanonchat.org/index.php?do=/blog/342622/batterij-acer-as09f34/ http://chatmate.in/index.php?do=/blog/2950/technology-has-been-affecting-almost-eve/ http://www.gupshupdunya.com/blog/53/batterij-acer-as09f34/ http://development.ivynails.biz/index.php?do=/blog/225/accu-acer-as09f34/ http://www.leemate.com/index.php?do=/blog/592/as09f34/ GBguestbook
