This part of the reading will examine the CPU, Buses, Controllers, and Main Memory. Other sections will examine input devices, output devices, and secondary memory. The Central Processing Unit (CPU) Figure 2: The Central Processing Unit The computer does its primary work in a part of the machine we cannot see, a control center that converts data input to information output. This control center, called the central processing unit (CPU), is a highly complex, extensive set of electronic circuitry

INTRODUCTION: Shared memory is a memory that can be used by multiple programs to avoid redundant copies or to provide communication among them. In other words we can say that, it is a technique, in this exchanging of data in process of program is done more quickly than by reading and writing using the services of OS. It is the fastest form of IPC available. A number of basic issues in the design of shared memory system have to be taken into consideration. Once the memory is mapped into the address

A Tale of Two Processors: Revisiting the RISC-CISC Debate Ciji Isen1, Lizy John1, and Eugene John2 1 ECE Department, The University of Texas at Austin ECE Department, The University of Texas at San Antonio {isen,ljohn}@ece.utexas.edu, ejohn@utsa.edu 2 Abstract. The contentious debates between RISC and CISC have died down, and a CISC ISA, the x86 continues to be popular. Nowadays, processors with CISC-ISAs translate the CISC instructions into RISC style micro-operations (eg: uops of Intel and
