All tutorials will start from week. • 9:00-10:00, Monday, 303S-191 (N.B. different room) • 10:00-11:00, Monday, 303S-G75 • 13:00-14:00, Monday, 303S-G75 • 16:00-17:00, Monday, 303S-G75 • 12:00-13:00, Tuesday, 303S-G75 • 17:00-18:00, Tuesday, 303S-G75 • 13:00-14:00, Wednesday, 303S-G75 • Tutor's office hours? • Tutorials will be available online • Lecture recordings in the Knowledge Map area of Cecil

  6. Miscellaneous Come to class . It is very dangerous to fall behind. • Each new lecture will require you to know and understand the content of the previous lectures. • Lectures are tied to the content of the textbook. It is important to read the textbook – exam questions may require more detail than is covered in the lectures. • Tutorials are a great way to supplement lectures • Outside office hours and tutorials, tutors are not expected to be at hand

  7. Course Outline • Bits and Bytes • How do we represent information using electrical signals? • Digital Logic • How do we build circuits to process information? • Computing Engines, Processors and Instruction Sets • How do we build a processor out of logic elements? • What operations (instructions) will we implement? • Assembly Language Programming • How do we use processor instructions to implement algorithms? • How do we write modular, reusable code? (subroutines) • I/O, Traps, and Interrupts • How does a processor communicate with the outside world? • C Programming • How do we write programs in C? • How do we implement high-level programming constructs?

  17. Introduction to Computing Systems:From Bits and Gates to C and Beyond2nd Edition Yale N. PattSanjay J. Patel Based on slides originally prepared by Gregory T. Byrd, North Carolina State University

  18. Chapter 1Welcome Aboard

  19. Introduction to the World of Computing • Computer: electronic genius? • NO! Electronic idiot! • Does exactly what we tell it to, nothing more. • Goal of the course: • You will be able to write programs in Cand understand what’s going on underneath – no magic! • Approach: • Build understanding from the bottom up. • Bits  Gates  Processor  Instructions  C Programming

  20. Two Recurring Themes • Abstraction • Productivity enhancer – don’t need to worry about details… Can drive a car without knowing howthe internal combustion engine works. • …until something goes wrong! Where’s the dipstick? What’s a spark plug? • Important to understand the components andhow they work together. • Hardware vs. Software • It’s not either/or – both are components of a computer system. • Even if you specialize in one, it is important to understand capabilities and limitations of both.

  21. Big Idea #1: Universal Computing Device • All computers, given enough time and memory,are capable of computing exactly the same things. = = Smart phone Desktop Supercomputer

  34. Chapter 2Bits, Data Types,and Operations

  35. How do we represent data in a computer? • At the lowest level, a computer is an electronic machine. • works by controlling the flow of electrons • Easy to recognize two conditions: • presence of a voltage – we’ll call this state “1” • absence of a voltage – we’ll call this state “0” • Could base state on value of voltage, but control and detection circuits more complex. • compare turning on a light switch tomeasuring or regulating voltage

  36. Computer is a Binary Digital System. • Digital system: • finite number of symbols • Binary (base two) system: • has two states: 0 and 1 • Basic unit of information is the binary digit, or bit. • Values with more than two states require multiple bits. • A collection of two bits has four possible states:00, 01, 10, 11 • A collection of three bits has eight possible states:000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111 • A collection of n bits has 2npossible states.

  37. What kinds of data do we need to represent? • Numbers – signed, unsigned, integers, floating point,complex, rational, irrational, … • Text – characters, strings, … • Images – pixels, colors, shapes, … • Sound • Logical – true, false • Instructions • … • Data type: • representation and operations within the computer • We’ll start with numbers…

  38. 329 102 101 100 Unsigned Integers • Non-positional notation • could represent a number (“5”) with a string of ones (“11111”) • problems? • Weighted positional notation • like decimal numbers: “329” • “3” is worth 300, because of its position, while “9” is only worth 9 most significant least significant 101 22 21 20 3x100 + 2x10 + 9x1 = 329 1x4 + 0x2 + 1x1 = 5

  39. Unsigned Integers (cont.) • An n-bit unsigned integer represents any of 2n(integer) values:from 0 to 2n-1.

  40. Unsigned Binary Arithmetic • Base-2 addition – just like base-10! • add from right to left, propagating carry carry 10010 10010 1111 + 1001 + 1011 + 1 11011 11101 10000 10111 + 111 Subtraction, multiplication, division,…

  41. “There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.”

  42. Signed Integers • With n bits, we can distinguish 2n unique values • assign about half to positive integers (1 through 2n-1)and about half to negative (-2n-1 through -1) • that leaves two values: one for 0, and one extra • Positive integers • just like unsigned, but zero in most significant (MS) bit00101 = 5 • Negative integers • Sign-Magnitude (or Signed-Magnitude) – set MS bit to show negative, other bits are the same as unsigned10101 = -5 • One’s complement – flip every bit to represent negative11010 = -5 • In either case, MS bit indicates sign: 0=positive, 1=negative

  43. Two’s Complement • Problems with sign-magnitude and 1’s complement • two representations of zero (+0 and –0) • arithmetic circuits are complex • How to add two sign-magnitude numbers? • e.g., try 2 + (-3) • How to add two one’s complement numbers? • e.g., try 4 + (-3) • Two’s complementrepresentation developed to makecircuits easy for arithmetic. • for each positive number (X), assign value to its negative (-X),such that X + (-X) = 0with “normal” addition, ignoring carry out 00101 (5) 01001 (9) + 11011(-5) +(-9) 00000 (0) 00000 (0)

  44. Two’s Complement Representation • If number is positive or zero, • normal binary representation, zeroes in upper bit(s) • If number is negative, • start with positive number • flip every bit (i.e., take the one’s complement) • then add one 00101 (5)01001 (9) 11010 (1’s comp)(1’s comp) + 1+ 1 11011 (-5)(-9)

  45. Two’s Complement Signed Integers • MS bit is sign bit – it has weight –2n-1. • Range of an n-bit number: -2n-1 through 2n-1 – 1. • The most negative number (-2n-1) has no positive counterpart.

  46. “Biased” Representation of Signed Integers • All integers (positive & negative) are represented as an unsigned integer supplemented with a “bias” to be subtracted out. • Range of an n-bit number: (0 - bias) through (2n-1 - bias). • Bias 8:

  47. “Biased” Representation of Signed Integers • All integers (positive & negative) are represented as an unsigned integer supplemented with a “bias” to be subtracted out. • Range of an n-bit number: (0 - bias) through (2n-1 - bias). • Bias 7:

  48. Converting Binary (2’s C) to Decimal • If leading bit is one, take two’s complement to get a positive number. • Add powers of 2 that have “1” in thecorresponding bit positions. • If original number was negative,add a minus sign. X = 01101000two = 26+25+23 = 64+32+8 = 104ten Assuming 8-bit 2’s complement numbers.

  49. More Examples X = 00100111two = 25+22+21+20 = 32+4+2+1 = 39ten X = 11100110two -X = 00011010 = 24+23+21 = 16+8+2 = 26ten X = -26ten Assuming 8-bit 2’s complement numbers.

  50. Converting Decimal to Binary (2’s C) • First Method: Division • Find magnitude of decimal number. (Always positive.) • Divide by two – remainder is least significant bit. • Keep dividing by two until answer is zero,writing remainders from right to left. • Append a zero as the MS bit;if original number was negative, take two’s complement. X = 104ten104/2 = 52 r0 bit 0 52/2 = 26 r0 bit 1 26/2 = 13 r0 bit 2 13/2 = 6 r1 bit 3 6/2 = 3 r0 bit 4 3/2 = 1 r1 bit 5 X = 01101000two 1/2 = 0 r1 bit 6
