Computer Organization:Introduction Spring 2006 Jen-Chang Liu (http://staffweb.ncnu.edu.tw/jcliu/course/cod2006.html)
Teaching materials • Textbook • "Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface", David A. Patterson and John L. Hennessy , 3rd Edition, 2005, Morgan Kaufmann • Web pages • Most of the slides are adapted from U.C. Berkeley course for machine structures http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61c/
Grading Policy • Gradingpolicy • Midterm Exam: 20% • Final Exam: 25% • Homework, Quiz, Project45% • TA Bonus 15% • Scores will be posted on course homepage • email request for correctionof grades
Class Schedule • 10:10~12:00 Tuesday • Regular class • 13:10~14:00 Monday • Quiz: 上週課程,作業的內容 • Laboratory in computer room • Monday morning • TA assignment
Course Problems • Can’t attend midterm, final exam. • Tell us early and we will schedule alternate time before exam • 期末考未到以零分計算 • No delay for homework • Problem with homework score must email me or TA within one week
Course Problems • What is cheating? • Studying together in groups is encouraged • Work must be your own • Common examples of cheating: running out of time on a assignment and then pick up output, take homework from box and copy, person asks to borrow solution “just to take a look”, copying an exam question, ... • Better off to skip assignment (how much can one assignment mean?)
Penalties for cheating • Cheat for Homework or Quiz: • 0 for any cheating • More than 2 cheats, you will fail in this course • Cheat in Exam: • 0 for the course

Anatomy: 5 components of any Computer Personal Computer Keyboard, Mouse Computer Processor (active) Memory (passive) (where programs, data live when running) Devices Disk(where programs, data live when not running) Input Control (“brain”) Datapath (“brawn”) Output Display, Printer
Five components of computer • Input, output, memory, datapath, control
Textbook Outline • Chap. 2: Machine Instructions, 100 pages! • We will use a simulator to learn the machine language • Chap. 3: Arithmetic for computers • Chap. 4: Performance • Chap. 5: Datapath and control • Chap. 6: Processors • Chap. 7: Memory • Chap. 8: I/O
Aim of this course • “Show the relationshipbetween hardware and software and focus on the concepts that are the basis for current computers” • 計組是研究所考試必考科目 • Advanced classes • Operating system • Advance computer architecture (杜老師)
So what's in it for me? • Computer Organization Study from a programmer's view • What the programmer writes • How it is converted to something the computer understands • How the computer interprets the program • What makes programs go slow/fast
Technology Trends: Memory Capacity(1 Chip DRAM) • year size(Megabit) • 1980 0.0625 • 1983 0.25 • 1986 1 • 1989 4 • 1992 16 • 1996 64 • 2000 256 • 1G • Now 1.4X/yr, or doubling every 2 years • 4000X since 1980
Technology Trends: Microprocessor Capacity 2X transistors/Chip Every 1.5 years 2X transistors/Chip Every 2 years “Moore’s Law”
Computer Technology =>Dramatic Change • Processor • 2X in speed every 1.5 years; 100X performance in last decade • Memory • DRAM capacity: 2x / 2 years; 64X size in last decade • Disk • capacity: > 2X in size every 1.0 years • 120X size in last decade
Computer Technology => Dramatic Change • State-of-the-art PC when you graduate: • Processor clock speed: 5000 MegaHertz (5.0 GigaHertz) • Memory capacity: 4000 MegaByte (4.0 GigaBytes) • Disk capacity: 2000 GigaBytes (2.0 TeraBytes) • New units! Mega => Giga, Giga => Tera
Summary • Continued rapid improvement in computing • 2X every 2.0 years in memory size; every 1.5 years in processor speed; every 1.0 year in disk capacity; • Moore’s Law enables processor(2X transistors/chip ~2 yrs) • 5 classic components of all computers Control Datapath Memory Input Output } Processor
