Computer Science - 0478 CIE

Computer Architecture

Akopọ

Inside every computer is a single chip that does the actual thinking: the central processing unit. It does not work by magic but by repeating one tireless three-step routine billions of times a second, fetching an instruction, decoding it, then carrying it out. Understanding that cycle, and the small set of registers and units that perform it, is the key to explaining how any program runs.

In this lesson you will learn the role of the CPU and the microprocessor, walk through the fetch-decode-execute cycle component by component on a Von Neumann machine, and see how cores, cache and clock speed change performance. You will also meet the instruction set and the embedded systems that quietly run the devices around you.

Awọn Afojusun

  1. 1 (a) Understand the role of the central processing unit (CPU) in a computer (b) Understand what is meant by a microprocessor
  2. 2 (a) Understand the purpose of the components in a CPU, in a computer that has a Von Neumann architecture (b) Describe the process of the fetch-decode-execute (FDE) cycle, including the role of each component in the process
  3. 3 Understand what is meant by a core, cache and clock in a CPU and explain how they can affect the performance of a CPU
  4. 4 Understand the purpose and use of an instruction set for a CPU
  5. 5 Describe the purpose and characteristics of an embedded system and identify devices in which they are commonly used

Akọ̀wé Ẹ̀kọ́

The CPU is the part of a computer where data and instructions are actually processed, a little like the brain processing what your senses take in. Almost every other 0478 topic, from running software to handling interrupts, depends on understanding the cycle the CPU performs and the components that carry it out. Examiners ask you to name those components, state their roles, and explain how cores, cache and clock speed affect performance, so precise vocabulary here pays off across the whole paper.
