Lecture
Processor Architecture
Description
This lecture explores how to build systems to execute developed algorithms, focusing on processor architecture. It covers the evolution of processor performance, from VAX-11/780 to modern Intel processors, and the transition from algorithms to computers. The lecture delves into writing algorithms in a more formal way, introducing registers and instructions, and the need for an arithmetic unit and memory to perform calculations. It also discusses the control circuit, line pointers, and memory management for data and instructions.
