01_Introduction

Chapter 1 of 'Computer Organization and Architecture' introduces key concepts in computer science, emphasizing the importance of foundational knowledge and self-learning abilities. It distinguishes between architecture, which refers to programmer-visible attributes, and organization, which pertains to implementation details. The chapter also outlines the structure and function of computer systems, including data processing, storage, and movement.

Introduction
Computer Science
•資訊爆炸  學不完
•變化快  學習速度要快
•機會多  工作機會, 創新機會

— 基礎要打好; 基礎知識, 基本觀念
— 具備自學能力
— 邏輯訓練
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

Set of instruments or other mechanical


appliances
Put together for a purpose
設備, 裝置 ([͵æpəˋretəs])
Operations (a) Data movement
Operations (b) Storage
Operation (c) Processing from/to storage
Operation (d)
Processing from storage to I/O
