Computer Organization[1]
How does a computer actually work? How do they transform what you type into a program that shows cute cat pictures?
Big ideas in computer organization
Information layer[2]
Hardware layer[3]
Computer architecture
- Outline the architecture of the central processing unit (CPU) and the functions of the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and the control unit (CU) and the registers within the CPU
- Primary memory
- Cache memory
- The machine instruction cycle
Secondary memory
Operating systems and application systems
Binary representation
- Bits, bytes, binary, denary/decimal, hexadecimal
- Binary values and number systems
- Data is represented in the computer
