Course Introduction | This course introduces the structure and function of computers and aims to provide a clear and complete introduction to the nature and characteristics of modern computer systems. The course describes computer systems from top to bottom and consists of five parts. The first part is the introduction and development of computers; the second part is the computer system and its main components: CPU, memory, I/O and the internal interconnection structure of the computer system; the third part is the central processing unit, including the instruction set and processor structure; the fourth part is the control unit, including the operation of the control unit and microprogram control; the fifth part is the form of parallel computer organization and parallel processing. This course helps undergraduate students to understand the process of computer development and development laws, understand the structure and function of computer systems and the relationship with each component of the computer, and then design a computer with balanced performance of each part. |
