Question

I want you to assume that you are writing an instructional paper in which you must describe the processing and interdependencies of the following components of computer architecture.   

• ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)
• Instruction Decoder
• Clock and Program Counter
• Control Codes
• Control Unit

Your paper must be informative and instructional it should rely upon and cite research but should be expressed in YOUR OWN WORDS.

The specifics of the paper include:

• It must be at least 2 typewritten pages not including a title page and a page for works cited.
• You must cite at least 3 references using APA format and list the sources in a Works Cited page. Information on APA formatting

Answer 1

solution:

• The Instruction Decoder:It reads the next instruction from memory , and sends the respective component pieces of the instruction to the necessary destinations.
• For every machine - language instruction, the control unit produces a sequence of pulses on each control signal line that is required to implement that instruction (to fetch the next instruction)
• The program counter(PC) or instruction pointer (IP) or instruction sequence is a processor register which indicates where a computer is in its program sequence.
• In computing , a control character is a code point (a number ) in a character set, that does not represent any written symbol. they are used for in-band signaling to cause effects other than addition of a symbol to the text, All other character are printing , printable, or graphic characters, except for the "space" character.
• Control unit (CU) is a component of computer's central processing unit (CPU) . It directs operation of the processor It tells the computer's memory, arithmetic/logic unit and input and output devices about how to respond to a program's instructions.
