Organization and Architecture of
the Computer System
• Organization determines operational units
and connections between them, which
realize architecture
• Architecture describes attributes
(characteristics) of the computer system,
visible (accessible) for the programmer
Definition of the Computer
• Computer is, in general meaning,
computing machine, used for processing
of the information represented in the digital
form or as the continuous signal
• What is the difference between the
calculator and the computer?

Moore’s Law (1965)
Gordon Moore (born in 1929, San
Francisco, California), PhD in physics in
1954 r. One of the founders of the Intel
corporation in 1968 r.
„Economically optimal number of the
transistors in the integrated chip will be
doubled every 18 months”
„Computational power of the microprocessors
will be doubled every 18 months, assuming
constant production cost”

„If the car technology in 1971 was accelerating in the same pace as
microelectronics, today we would travel from San Francisco to New
York within 13 seconds”

Performance Gap
• Efficiency advancement of processors and
memory was not uniform
• Frequencies of the processor clock are
much greater than these of memory
• Numerous methods of compensating for
this gap are applied:
– Increasing of the memory clock
– Increasing of the cache memory size
– Modifying the sequence of the instructions
execution flow
Illustration of the Performance Gap
Problem of the physical limitations
• Size of transistors cannot be decreased
indefinitely!
• A significant problem is the heat emission
(cooling issue!)
• Processor core has a crucial influence on
the calculations efficiency and emitted heat

control
• The first theoretical model of the computer
• Was used to design the Colossus computer
• Symbols are read from the tape, result of the
calculations is also stored on the tape
Work Regime of the Turing Machine
• Control unit is the processor, moving over the
tape and performing write/read operations
• Control unit's action depends on the symbol
read from the tape and state of the control unit
• Instruction of the Turing machine:
(S0, qi, Sz, qj, L/P)
Identification part of the instruction
Operational part of the instruction
von Neumann Architecture (1945)
• Universal uniprocessor architecture, the base for
the modern computers
• First practical realization: IAS computer (1952)
• Functional structure:
– Central Processing Unit (CPU) consisting of
the Arithmetical-Logical Unit (ALU) and
Control Unit (CU)
– Main memory used to store data and
instructions
– Input/output modules
