William Stallings Computer Organization and Architecture 6 Edition

The document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 1 of William Stallings' book "Computer Organization and Architecture". It defines architecture as the attributes visible to a programmer, like the instruction set, while organization is how features are implemented internally. It discusses how the Intel x86 and IBM System/370 families share the same architectures but different organizations. The document then outlines the structure and functions of a basic computer system from a top-down perspective.

William Stallings

Computer Organization
and Architecture
6th Edition

Chapter 1
Introduction
Architecture & Organization 1
• Architecture is those attributes visible to the
programmer
—Instruction set, number of bits used for data
representation, I/O mechanisms, addressing
techniques.
—e.g. Is there a multiply instruction?
• Organization is how features are implemented
—Control signals, interfaces, memory technology.
—e.g. Is there a hardware multiply unit or is it done by
repeated addition?
Architecture & Organization 2
• All Intel x86 family share the same basic
architecture
• The IBM System/370 family share the same
basic architecture

• This gives code compatibility


—At least backwards
• Organization differs between different versions
Structure & Function
• Structure is the way in which components relate
to each other
• Function is the operation of individual
components as part of the structure
Function
• All computer functions are:
—Data processing
—Data storage
—Data movement
—Control
Functional view
Operations (1) Data movement
Operations (2) Storage
Operation (3) Processing from/to storage
Operation (4)
Processing from storage to I/O
