Computer Science Chapter 4 Computer Architecture

The document discusses Von Neumann architecture, which stores both programs and data in memory, and moves data between the memory unit and processor. It also describes the three main buses - the address bus carries address signals uni-directionally between the processor and memory, the data bus sends data bi-directionally between components, and the control bus carries control signals that can flow both ways to coordinate activities. A diagram shows the classic Von Neumann architecture layout with memory, processor, and input/output devices connected by these buses.

COMPUTER

ARCHITECTURE
Von Neumann architecture: this concept holds programs
and data in memory. Data moves between the memory unit
and the processor.

Bus: buses move data around the computer and also send
out control signals to synchronise the internal operations.
there are three different bus:

Address bus carries signals relating to addresses between


the processor and memory; it is uni-
directional

Data bus sends data between the processor, memory


unit and the input/output devices; it is bi-
directional

Control bus carries signals relating to control and


coordination of all activities within the
computer; it can be both uni-directional and
bi-directional
