  1. Hook - 1969 was a famous year for what…..? • What typical Computing Hardware may be inside the Apollo Guidance Computer? • What would be the brains of the Computer? LP – to explore the basics of SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE (Unit 1)

  2. Key Questions to consider LP – to explore the basics of SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE (Unit 1) To be able to evaluate the impacts of key CPU characteristics upon performance and give examples To be able to state the functions of the CPU, such as fetch and executing instructions from memory To be able to describe the purpose of a CPU and identify key characteristics What processing power does your computer at home have? Typically? Are you aware of the processing power of your mobile phone? Tablet? How is processing power measured? How powerful is Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC)compared the iPhone 6?

  3. LP – to explore the basics of SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE (Unit 1)

  4. LP – to explore the basics of SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE (Unit 1)

  5. Activity 1 Produce an extended piece of writing about what the CPU does, how its performance is measured and how it can be impacted Find a diagram of a CPU and label the key parts (ALU, CU….) Watch the video and explain the concept of Moore’s Law with examples Use the slides to evidence work for each success criteria LP – to explore the basics of SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE (Unit 1)

  6. Activity 1 - Bronze Moore’s Law Video

  7. Activity 1 - Silver Hint – You are looking for the Von Neumann CPU

  8. Activity 1 - Gold

  9. Activity 2 - LP – to explore the basics of SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE (Unit 1) To be able to evaluate the impacts of key CPU characteristics upon performance and give examples To be able to state the functions of the CPU, such as fetch and executing instructions from memory To be able to describe the purpose of a CPU and identify key characteristics Complete the challenges related to processor performance

  10. Types of Computer Systems A General Purpose System is a Computer System that is made up of both Hardware and Software. This is often known as Firmware. Examples can include games consoles, laptops and tablets Embedded systems are usually for very specialised tasks, don’t usually contain an Operating System and can’t be ‘updated’. Examples can include, dishwashers, air conditioners and microwaves LP – to explore the basics of SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE (Unit 1)

  11. Activity 3 LP – to explore the basics of SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE (Unit 1) Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of embedded systems. Make a list for revision Discuss why we have embedded systems in our lives Produce a mind map (and images) of embedded systems found around the home Complete each of the tasks within the success criteria Use the slides provide to produce your evidence

  12. Activity 3 - Bronze

  13. Activity 3 – Silver / Gold

  14. Extensions Produce FIVE Questions + Mark Scheme related to CPU components, Clock speed, cores and processing speed (Grade 1-5) Use Resource 1 to study the Apollo 11 Hardware and write a report discussing how the technology has changed over the last 40-50 years. (Grade 5–9)

  15. Extension 1

  16. Extension 2

  17. Plenary LP – to explore the basics of SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE (Unit 1)
