11. Computer Architecture Input and Output Converters translate the external representation into an internal representation or the other way around. eg: keyboards, video screens , printers, barcode readers, magnetic cards, sensors, ... Data memory Temporary storage of data . intermediate results ( eg. program variables ) . input/output buffers

12. Computer Architecture 2 Program memory Contains the instructions that go via the program interface to the CPU and that will be executed one by one. Central memory A set of numbered cells that can contain a binary number. Terminology: . word . address Program variables represent an address

14. Storage Primary RAM ROM Semiconductor memory Access speed increases Storage capacity decreases Cost/byte increases Magnetic disks Secondary Magnetic tape Optical disk Tekst: O’Brien p 74

15. Computer Architecture 3 Arithmetic and Logical Unit This unit is responsible for the processing of the data read from, and rewritten into the data memory. The unit can compare the contents of memory cells and execute basic operations. The Control Unit This unit reads the instructions one by one from the program memory , decodes them and sends the appropriate signals to the other components.

16. Peripheral Memory . Uses no electrical energy . Usually stored in blocks of hundreds of words , which are moved as one block into the central memory . Magnetic material in permanent movement - disk memory < 1/10 sec : allows " random access " - Magnetic tapes : sequential memory . Optical material - CD-ROM : to distribute large amounts of data - WORM : archiving

17. Usage of Memory Price per bit Access Time Registers Registers: Very fast memory ( < 100 ns ) in arithmetic and control unit Central memory: ( between 50 and 500 ns ) These types of memory use integrated circuits and use electrical energy. The content is lost with a power supply interruption. central memory Mass storage ( disk - tape )

18. Memory capacity Kilobyte: one thousand bytes Megabyte: one million bytes Gigabyte: one billion bytes Terabyte: one trillion bytes Time Millisecond: one thousandth of a second Microsecond: one millionth of a second Nanosecond: one billionth of a second Picosecond: one trillionth of a second Units O’Brien 61
