CH01 Introduction

This chapter introduces computer organization and architecture. It discusses the differences between computer organization and architecture. Computer organization refers to the operational units and their interconnections, while architecture refers to attributes visible to programmers like instruction sets. The chapter describes the four main functions of a computer: data processing, data storage, data movement, and control. It outlines the four main structural components of a computer: CPU, main memory, I/O, and system interconnection. The CPU's major structural components - control unit, ALU, registers, and CPU interconnection - are also introduced.

IBM System
370 Architecture
 IBM System/370 architecture
 Was introduced in 1970
 Included a number of models
 Could upgrade to a more expensive, faster model without having to
abandon original software
 New models are introduced with improved technology, but retain the
same architecture so that the customer’s software investment is
protected
 Architecture has survived to this day as the architecture of IBM’s
mainframe product line

Structure and Function

 Hierarchical system
 Structure
 Set of interrelated
 The way in which
subsystems
components relate to each
 Hierarchical nature of complex other
systems is essential to both
 Function
their design and their

components as part of the

 Concerned with structure
and function at each level
