Computer Organization
and Architecture
7th Edition
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

versions

differs between different

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

Operations (1) Data movement

Operations (2) Storage

Operation (3) Processing from/to storage

Operation (4)
Processing from storage to I/O

Structure
The

Computer

CPU
Controls the operation of the
computer and performs its
data processing functions.

Main memory
Stores data

I/O
Moves data between the
computer and its external
environment

System interconnection
Provides for communication
among CPU, main memory,
and I/O
