COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN’S REVIEW QUESTIONS From “Computer Organization and Architecture” book‚ by W. Stallings - 8th edition - Pearson PAGE 15 - CHAPTER 1 / INTRODUCTION Review Questions 1.1. What‚ in general terms‚ is the distinction between computer organization and computer architecture? Computer organization is how devices is implemented. Computer architecture is those atributes visible to the programer. Computer architecture refers to those attributes of a system visible

Computers) were developed through the innovation of Intel’s microprocessors. In the early 70’s increased competition from Japanese semiconductor manufacturers had dramatically reduced the profitability of this market this made Intel to shift the company’s focus to microprocessors. From the late 80s until the late 90s Intel had a 10-year period of unprecedented growth as the primary hardware supplier to the PC industry‚ supplying microprocessor to IBM. Intel’s product line of Pentium processors had

competition became fierce and the PC market began to take hold. Intel executives later made a dramatic decision to exit the DRAM business and focus resources on the Intel invented microprocessors. In January 1997‚ Intel was ranked among the top five American companies. For the most part‚ Intel’s success had been due to its microprocessors. Notwithstanding the company’s remarkable history and success‚ company executives worried about the challenges ahead. Almost thirty years later‚ the questions are‚ "How can

(VLIW) Computer Architecture ABSTRACT VLIW architectures are distinct from traditional RISC and CISC architectures implemented in current mass-market microprocessors. It is important to distinguish instruction-set architecture—the processor programming model—from implementation—the physical chip and its characteristics. VLIW microprocessors and superscalar implementations of traditional instruction sets share some characteristics—multiple execution units and the ability to execute multiple operations

Definition of: embedded system Any electronic system that uses a computer chip‚ but that is not a general-purpose workstation‚ desktop or laptop computer. Such systems use microcontrollers (MCUs) or microprocessors (MPUs)‚ or they may use custom-designed chips. Deployed by the billions each year in myriad applications‚ the embedded systems market uses the lion’s share of all the electronic components in the world. Embedded systems are employed in automobiles‚ planes‚ trains‚ space vehicles

integrated circuits in 1958. Integrated circuits replaced transistors‚ and many computer languages came out in this time. Many more computer companies were born during this time‚ and eventually this led to personal computers for everyday use. Microprocessors introduced the beginning of the "Fourth Generation" and a time where computers were in almost every house. (Wiley‚ 1985) The history of gadgets spans as far back as humanity itself - since hominids began creating tools to make their lives easier

and usually dedicated to a single task. The fundamental components include a processor core (C.P.U)‚ memory‚ system clock and programmable input/output peripherals. Microcontrollers are designed for embedded applications‚ in contrast to the microprocessors used in personal computers or other general purpose applications. MCUs have been used in almost every application that requires certain amount of intelligence. Microcontrollers are used in automatically controlled products and devices‚ such as
