Architecture and Parallel Processing

Architecture: 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: how features are implemented
◦ Control signals, interfaces, memory technology,
number of cores.
◦ e.g. Is there a hardware multiply unit or is it done by
repeated addition?



All Intel x86 family share the same basic
architecture.
This gives code compatibility, at least
backwards.
Organization differs between different
versions (e.g., Core i3/i5/i7, Xeon, Atom, …
etc.)

Structure: the way in which components

Function: the operation of individual
relate to each other.

Data and instructions are stored in a single
read-write memory.
The contents of this memory are addressable
by location, without regard to the type of
data contained there.
Execution occurs in a sequential fashion
(unless modified) from one instruction to the
next.


Hardwired program: configuration of logic
components designed specifically for a
particular computation. Inflexible.
General-purpose hardware: can do different
tasks, given correct control signals.
◦ Instead of re-wiring the hardware, supply a new set
of control signals (write a new program).

• Each code is

• A sequence

called




A sequence of steps.
For each step, an arithmetic or logical
operation could be done.
Each operation result in a different set of
control signals.
◦ A unique code is provided for each operation.
 e.g., ADD  9D, MOVE  E3, … etc.
◦ A hardware segment accepts the code and issues
the control signals

That’s it. We have a computer!


The Control Unit and the Arithmetic and Logic
Unit constitute the Central Processing Unit.
Data and instructions need to get into the
system and results out.
◦ Input/Output

Temporary storage of code and results is
needed.
◦ Main memory.

Two steps:
◦ Fetch: CPU reads instructions from memory, one at
a time.
◦ Execute: CPU executes instructions.



Program Counter (PC) holds address of next
instruction to fetch.
Processor fetches instruction from memory
location pointed to by PC.
Increment PC.
◦ Unless told otherwise


Instruction loaded into Instruction Register
(IR).
Processor interprets instruction and performs
required actions in execute cycle.

Processor-memory
◦ Data transfer between CPU and main memory

Processor-I/O
◦ Data transfer between CPU and I/O module

Data processing
◦ Some arithmetic or logical operation on data

Control
◦ Alteration of sequence of operations
◦ e.g., jump
