- 10. 10 Why Computer Architecture? The American Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is one of the largest scientific societies in the world includes the specialization of computer engineering. The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) also issued on computer topics and approaches in general. ACM and IEEE reports states that the computer architecture should be taught as a basic material for students of the Department of Computer Engineering.
- 11. 11 Computer Structural Design The purpose of teaching Computer Architecture is to give the student the engineering basics required to design the Hardware and software of computers from the presentation of ideas to the two main topics of: 1. Computer Architecture 2. Computer Organization Computer Architecture Refers to those properties from the view of the programmer user of the computer such as the set of instructions, the number of bits used, the methods of addressing, the mechanism of connection with the input and output ports Computer Organization The detailed controlling properties of the whole component of the computer system to the programmer, such as control signals, the connection between the computer and the attached units and the techniques used in memory.

- 14. 14 A Programmer’s View (cont’d) Most high-level language instructions need more than one assembly instruction C/C++ Language Assembly Language size = value; mov ax,value mov size,ax sum += x + y + z; MOV AX,SUM ADD AX,X ADD AX,Y ADD AX,Z MOV SUM,AX
- 15. 15 Architect’s View Looks at the design aspects from a high level Much like a building architect Does not focus on low level details Uses higher-level building blocks Ex: Arithmetic and logical unit (ALU) Consists of three main components Processor Memory I/O devices Glued together by an interconnect
