William Stallings Computer Organization and Architecture

This document summarizes key concepts from the first chapter of William Stallings' book "Computer Organization and Architecture". It defines architecture as the attributes visible to a programmer, such as instruction set and data representation. Organization is how these features are implemented in hardware. While architecture gives code compatibility, organization may differ between versions. A computer's functions are data processing, storage, movement and control. The document outlines the book's topics and provides resources for further reading.

William Stallings Computer Organization and Architecture

Chapter 1 Introduction

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
Functional view of a computer
Data Storage Facility Data Movement Apparatus
