THE COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
SOFTWARE
Software is formed by set of instructons that directs hardware to do some tasks for develop process
Is formed by:
Application software
Operating system
HARDWARE
Include physical components that are:
CPU
(Central process unity)
This unity develope every process on pc
Storage
Data are put on the storage
Output devices
With output devices we receive signal of different type from computer
Input devices
With input devices we can send signal to pc
C.A. EVOLUTION
In the past computers were formed by single-core processors that could develop one process at a time. In the next years, after some studies and discoveries, we were able to insert many cores in one computer that could develop some process in same time.
INTRODUCTION TO C.A.
PRICIPLES OF THE C.A.
Hierarchical design
The systems are composed by level, one level depends on the previous.
Abstraction
Abstraction because the process is formed by bit, that are sequences of 0 and 1, so numbers are abstract things
Modularity
A system is devided by subsystems or MODULES that can intercact with each other
WHAT'S C.A.?
C.A. refers to the design and composition of a computer. It encompasses the hardware's components, instruction set, and interconnection of important elements in the case.
