  4. Components of ISA • In most cases, a “programmer’s reference manual” (PRM) will disclose the ISA of a processor • To understand an ISA, find in PRM • Data types the processor supports • Supported instructions and their definitions • Registers (general-purpose & special purpose) • Processor modes • Exception mechanism

  5. Inside a PC • Integrated Circuits (ICs) • CPU (Central Processing Unit), companion chipset, memory, peripheral I/O chip (e.g., USB, IDE, IEEE1394, …) • Printed Circuit (PC) boards (next slide) • Substrate for ICs and interconnection • Distribution of clock, power supply • Heat dissipation • Hard disk, CD-RW DVD-RW, (floppy disk) • Power supply • Chassis • Holds boards, power supply, and provides physical interface for user and other systems • Connectors and cables

  6. Closeup photo of one side of a motherboard PCB, showing conductive traces and solder points for through-hole components on the opposite side.

  7. Integrated Circuits • 1mm~25mm on a side • 100 ~ 1000M transistors • 25 ~ 250M “logic gates”

  8. Technology Trend (Processor Complexity) 2x transistors/chip every 1.5 years!

  9. Moore’s Law • The term Moore's Law has been coined by Carver Mead around 1970.[4] Moore's original statement can be found in his publication "Cramming more components onto integrated circuits", Electronics Magazine19 April1965: • “The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year ... Certainly over the short term this rate can be expected to continue, if not to increase. Over the longer term, the rate of increase is a bit more uncertain, although there is no reason to believe it will not remain nearly constant for at least 10 years. That means by 1975, the number of components per integrated circuit for minimum cost will be 65,000. I believe that such a large circuit can be built on a single wafer.[1] • Astounding that it has held for so long!!!

  10. Memory Capacity Trend (DRAM) 1.4x/year or 2x every 2 years 8000x since 1980!

  11. Technology Advances (!) • Memory • DRAM capacity: 2x / 2 years (since ’96) • 64x size improvement in last decade • Processor • Speed (in terms of clock frequency): 2x / 1.5 years (since ’85) • 100x performance improvement in last decade • Disk • Capacity: 2x / 1 year (since ’97) • 250x size improvement in last decade

  12. Main memory • PC/servers use “DRAM” (Dynamic RAM) • SDRAM • DDR SDRAM • RDRAM (RAMBUS DRAM) A typical SDRAM “module”

  13. SRAM, SDRAM, FLASH all in a same chip! Main memory, cont’d • Embedded computers use DRAM or SRAM (or both) depending on applications

  14. Storage • Secondary storage • Non-volatile • Stores programs, user-saved data, etc. • In PC/server domain, magnetic disk (hard-disk) is usually used • In embedded computers, “flash” memory or “ROM” is usually employed

  15. USB Flash card 256MB 5.25-inch floppy disk 1.2MB 3.5-inch floppy disk 1.44MB Storage, cont’d

  16. Storage, cont’d

  17. Computer Networks • Local Area Network (LAN) • Within limited distance (e.g., in a building) • Mostly based on Ethernet • 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps, 10Gbps, … • Wide Area Network • Connecting networks far apart • Proliferation of wireless LAN (IEEE802.11) • 1 ~ 100Mbps

  18. (Simple) IC Process Overview • Silicon ingot (silicon cylinder) • (Blank) Wafers • Various steps to build circuits on wafers • Patterns of chemicals placed wafer • “Wafer test” to sort out bad parts • Tested “die” (diced into components – dies, chips) • “Packaging” steps • Wire bonding (connected to the I/O pins of a package) • “Chip test” to sort out bad parts (mistakes happen during packaging) • Products
