  1. Computer Architectures CS401 Sabanci University erkays@sabanciuniv.edu Erkay Savas

  2. Motivation • The IEEE/ACM Computer Curricula 2001, prepared by the Joint Task Force on Computing Curricula of IEEE Computer Society and ACM lists computer architecture as one of the core subjects that should be in the curriculum of all students in computer science and engineering. • The computer lies at the heart of the computing. Without it most of the computing disciplines today would be a branch of theoretical mathematics. To be a professional in any field of computing today, one should NOT regard the computer just a black box that executes program by magic. All students of computing should acquire some understanding and appreciation of a computer system’s functional components, their characteristics, their performance and their interactions. There are practical implications as well. Students need to understand computer architecture in order to structure a program so that it runs more efficiently on a real machine. In selecting a system to use, they should to able to understand the tradeoff among various components, such as CPU clock speed vs. memory size. Erkay Savas

  5. ENIAC world’s first general-purpose computer Erkay Savas

  6. ENIAC by Eckert & Mauchly • Electronic Numerical Integrator And Calculator • Technology: Vacuum tubes (19000+) • Cost like 300 million USD. • The main components • 20 registers (each 10-digit wide, 60 cm long), addition/subtraction and temporary storage • Initiator: powering up/shutting down the computer, starting computation • Master programmer: controls the execution of programs Erkay Savas

  7. ENIAC • Multiplier • multiplication of a 10-digit number by a d-digit number (for d up to 10) took d+4 cycles, so a 10by 10-digit multiplication took 14 cycles, or 2800 microseconds—a rate of 357 per second • Function tables: used for programming • Programming: by wiring the cables and setting 3000 switches manually. Done for every program. • Energy Consumption: 200 Kilo Watt • 30 tons • Purpose: Used for calculation of missile trajectories. Erkay Savas

  8. Programming(!) ENIAC Erkay Savas

  9. Dispute • The English also claimed that the world’s first general-purpose computer was built in England • COLOSSUS in 1943 • The problem was about the definition of general-purpose computer. • Also by British, EDSAC (Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator) • by Maurice Wilkes of Cambridge Universityin 1949 • Stored-program computer • Non-electronic computers • Harvard Mark I – IBM ASCC (1944), Zuse Z3 (1941) Erkay Savas

  10. Difference Engine • By Charles Babbage in 1850s Erkay Savas

  11. What about now? What are the capabilities of contemporary computers?

  17. How is this progress possible? What is the key technology behind it and what is the law that is governing the progress in this technology? Erkay Savas

  18. Semiconductor Technology • Transistors: tiny devices that can be realized easily(!) in silicon which is abundant on earth. • A transistor is basically a switch that can be used to implement some logical operations. • A collection of transistor which implement a logical operation is called as gate. • A gate implements a logic primitive (AND, OR) • Using logical gates we can realize millions of useful operations we can think of. Erkay Savas

  19. Moore’s Law • The observation made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, • the number of transistors/in2 on IC had doubled every year since the IC was invented. • Moore predicted that this trend would continue for the foreseeable future. • The pace slowed down a bit, • transistor density doubles approximately every 18 months, • and this is the current definition of Moore’s Law. • Most experts expect Moore’s Law to hold for at least another one or two decades Erkay Savas

  20. Architecture & Organization • More transistors and better process technology  faster processors • It is important to know what to do with these resources • more memory • larger cache • another cache level • a powerful multiplier unit • unit for networking operations • new instructions Erkay Savas
