  1. Overview • Introduction • The Level of Abstraction • Organization & Architecture • Structure & Function • Why study computer organization?

  2. Introduction • We will study the design, structure and internal organization of computer system. • It can be studied at many levels of abstraction.

  3. What is Computer? Computer a fast electronic calculating machine, which accepts digitized input information, process it according to a program, stored in its memory, and produces the resultant output information.

  4. The Automobile • Driver • Automobile mechanic • Automobile designer • Automobile engineer • Chemist or Metallurgist

  5. Level of Abstraction • Operating systems level • Programming language level • Functional organization level • Hardware design level • The laws of physics Computer science Electrical engineering Physics

  6. Level of Abstraction Operating System Level • Deals with : Packages, jobs, canned routines • Computer view : A black box that solves problems

  7. Level of Abstraction Programming language level • Deals with : Programs, statements, loops, conditions • Computer view : A collection of problem-solving primitives in a high-level language

  8. Level of Abstraction Functional organization level • Deals with : Memory, processors, I/O devices, registers • Computer view :A collection of major hardware subsystems

  9. Level of Abstraction Hardware design level • Deals with : Gates, circuits, chips, boards • Computer view :A collection of discrete electrical components

  10. Level of Abstraction The laws of physics • Deals with : Electrons, atoms, magnetism • Computer view :A physical system composed of elemental particles

  11. Organization & Architecture Computer Architecture • Those attributes of a system visible to a programmer • Those attributes that have a direct impact on the logical execution of a program • Example :- instruction set, I/O mechanism, memory addressing techniques,number of bits used for data representation.

  12. Organization & Architecture Computer Organization • Those attributes include hardware details transparent to the programmer. • The computer system’s resources. • Study structure and function of computer component. • Example :-control signal, memory, interface between components.

  13. Structure and Function • Structure : The way in which the components are interrelated. • Function : The operation of each individual component as part of the structure.

  14. Structure Main structural components • Processor • Memory • I/O • System Interconnection

  15. Function Basic functions of computer • Data Processing • Data Storage • Data Movement • Control

  16. Why study Comp. Organ.? • Allow you to intelligently evaluate, compare and select computer equipment and peripherals. • Allow you to understand how to write optimized and more efficient program. • Almost every branch of CS requires a background in Comp. Organ.
