Brief Historical Background
• Programming Advancements
– Machine Language - binary codes (e.g., 0100 0111 for
addition) stored in computer memory.

– Assembly Language - Instructions (mnemonic codes such as


ADD for addition) stored in computer memory.

– FORTRAN - allows programmers to use formulas

– COBOL, BASIC, C/C++, JAVA, Python etc.

Programming and Interfacing by Barry B. Brey, 8th edition.
The Microprocessor
• The microprocessor - Central Processing Unit (CPU)
– controls memory and I/O through a series of connections
called buses.
– Three main tasks of the microprocessor:
• Data transfer b/w itself and memory and I/O systems
• Arithmetic and logic operations
• Program flow via simple decisions
– capability to execute billions of millions of instructions per
second from a program or software.
