In this chapter, we examine the organization of basic computer systems. A simple computer has three primary subsystems. The central processing unit, or CPU, performs many operations and controls the computer. A microprocessor usually serves as the computer’s CPU. The memory subsystem is used to store programs being executed by the CPU, along with the program’s data. The input/output, or I/O, subsystem allows the CPU to interact with input and output devices, such as the keyboard and monitor of a personal computer, or the keypad and digital display of a microwave oven. Most computer systems, from the embedded controllers found in automobiles and consumer appliances to personal computers and mainframes, have the same basic organization. This organization has three main components: the CPU, the memory subsystem, and the I/O subsystem. The generic organization of these components is shown in Figure 2-1. Address Bus CPU. Data Bus. Memory Subsystem. Control Bus. I/O Device. …. I/O Device. I/O Subsystem. Figure 2-1 Generic computer organization.

(2) 计算机专业英语(第二版). 12. In this chapter, we first describe the system buses used to connect the components in the computer system. Then we examine the instruction cycle, the sequence of operations that occurs within the computer as it fetches, decodes, and executes an instruction.

To send information from one component to another, the source component outputs data onto the bus. The destination component then inputs this data from the bus. As the complexity of a computer system increases, it becomes more efficient (in terms of minimizing connections) at using buses rather than direct connections between every pair of devices. Buses use less space on a circuit board and require less power than a large number of direct connections. They also require fewer pins on the chip or chips that comprise the CPU. The system shown in Figure 2-1 has three buses. The uppermost bus in this figure is the address bus. When the CPU reads data or instructions from or writes data to memory, it must specify the address of the memory location it wishes to access. It outputs this address to the address bus; memory inputs this address from the address bus and uses it to access the proper memory location. Each I/O devices, such as a keyboard, monitor, or disk drive, has a unique address as well. When accessing an I/O device, the CPU places the address of the device on the address bus. Each device can read the address of the bus and determine whether it is the device being accessed by the CPU. Unlike the other buses, the address bus always receives data from the CPU; the CPU never reads the address bus. Data is transferred via the data bus. When the CPU fetches data from memory, it first outputs the memory address on its address bus. Then memory outputs the data onto the data bus; the CPU can then read the data from the data bus. When writing data to memory, the CPU first outputs the address onto the address bus, then outputs the data onto the data bus. Memory then reads and stores the data at the proper location. The processes for reading data from and writing data to the I/O devices are similar. The control bus is different from the other two buses. The address bus consists of n lines, which combine to transmit one n-bit address value. Similarly, the lines of the data bus work together to.

(3) Chapter 2 Basic Organization of Computers. 13. transmit a single multibit value. In contrast, the control bus is a collection of individual control signals. These signals indicate whether data is to be read into or written out of the CPU, whether the CPU is accessing memory or an I/O device, and whether the I/O device or memory is ready to transfer data. Although this bus is shown as bidirectional in Figure 2-1, it is really a collection of (mostly) unidirectional signals. Most of these signals are output from the CPU to the memory and I/O subsystems, although a few are output by these subsystems to the CPU. We examine these signals in more detail when we look at the instruction cycle and the subsystem interface. A system may have a hierarchy of buses. For example, it may use its address, data, and control buses to access memory, and an I/O controller. The I/O controller, in turn, may access all I/O devices using a second bus, often called an I/O bus or a local bus.

First the microprocessor fetches, or reads, the instruction from memory. Then it decodes the instruction, determining which instruction it has fetched. Finally, it performs the operations necessary to execute the instruction. (Some people also include an additional element in the instruction cycle to store results. Here, we include that operation as part of the execute function.) Each of these functions—fetch, decode, and execute—consists of a sequence of one or more operations. Let’s start where the computer starts, with the microprocessor fetching the instruction from memory. First, the microprocessor places the address of the instruction on to the address bus. The memory subsystem inputs this address and decodes it to access the desired memory location. (We look at how this decoding occurs when we examine the memory subsystem in more detail later in this chapter.) After the microprocessor allows sufficient time for memory to decode the address and access the requested memory location, the microprocessor asserts a READ control signal. The READ signal is a signal on the control bus which the microprocessor asserts when it is ready to read data from memory or an I/O device. (Some processors have a different name for this signal, but all microprocessors have a signal to perform this function.) Depending on the microprocessor, the READ signal may be active high (asserted - 1) or active low (asserted - 0)..

(4) 14. 计算机专业英语(第二版). When the READ signal is asserted, the memory subsystem places the instruction code to be fetched onto the computer system’s data bus, The microprocessor then inputs this data from the bus and stores it in one of its internal registers. At this point, the microprocessor has fetched the instruction. Next, the microprocessor decodes the instruction. Each instruction may require a different sequence of operations to execute the instruction. When the microprocessor decodes the instruction, it determines which instruction it is in order to select the correct sequence of operations to perform. This is done entirely within the microprocessor; it does not use the system buses. Finally, the microprocessor executes the instruction. The sequence of operations to execute the instruction varies from instruction to instruction. The execute routine may read data from memory, write data to memory, read data from or write data to an I/O device, perform only operations within the CPU, or perform some combination of these operations. We now look at how the computer performs these operations from a system perspective. To read data from memory, the microprocessor performs the same sequence of operations it uses to fetch an instruction from memory. After all, fetching an instruction is simply reading it from memory. Figure 2-2(a) shows the timing of the operations to read data from memory. In Figure 2-2, notice the top symbol, CLK. This is the computer system clock; the microprocessor uses the system clock to synchronize its operations. The microprocessor places the address onto the bus at the beginning of a clock cycle, a 0/1 sequence of the system clock. One clock cycle later, to allow time for memory to decode the address and access its data, the microprocessor asserts the READ Signal. This causes memory to place its data onto the system data bus. During this clock cycle, the microprocessor reads the data off the system bus and stores it in one of its registers. At the end of the clock cycle it removes the address from the address bus and deasserts the READ signal. Memory then removes the data from the data bus, completing the memory read operation. The timing of the memory write operation is shown in Figure 2-2(b). The processor places the address and data onto the system buses during the first clock cycle. The microprocessor then asserts a WRITE control signal (or its equivalent) at the start of the second clock cycle. Just as the READ signal causes memory to read data, the WRITE signal triggers memory to store data. Some time during this cycle, memory writes the data on the data bus to the memory location whose address is on the address bus. At the end of this cycle, the processor completes the memory write operation by removing the address and data from the system buses and deasserting the WRITE signal. The I/O read and write operations are similar to the memory read and write operations. A processor may use either memory mapped I/O or isolated I/O. If the processor supports memory mapped I/O, it follows the same sequences of operations to input or output data as to read data from or write data to memory, the sequences shown in Figure 2-2. (Remember, in memory mapped I/O, the processor treats an I/O port as a memory location, so it is reasonable to treat an I/O data access the same as a memory access.) Processors that use isolated I/O follow the same process but have a second control signal to distinguish between I/O and memory accesses. (CPUs that use isolated I/O can have a memory location and an I/O port with the same address, which makes this extra signal.

The INAC instruction of the Relatively Simple CPU, and the MOV r1, r2 instruction of the 8085 microprocessor, can be executed without accessing memory or I/O devices.

It fetches instructions from memory, supplying the address and control signals needed by memory to access its data. The CPU decodes the instruction and controls the execution procedure. It performs some operations internally, and supplies the address, data, and control signals needed by memory and I/O devices to execute the instruction. Nothing happens in the computer unless the CPU causes it to happen. Internally, the CPU has three sections, as shown in Figure 2-3. The register sections, as its name implies, includes a set of registers and a bus or other communication mechanism. The registers in a processor’s instruction set architecture are found in this section of the CPU. The system address and data buses interact with this section of the CPU. The register section also contains other registers that are not directly accessible by the programmer. The relatively simple CPU includes registers to latch the address being accessed in memory and a temporary storage register, as well as other registers that.

Data values(Operands) ALU Data values (Results). Figure 2-3 CPU Internal Organization. During the fetch portion of the instruction cycle, the processor first outputs the address of the instruction onto the address bus. The processor has a register called the program counter; the CPU keeps the address of the next instruction to be fetched in this register. Before the CPU outputs the address onto the system’s address bus, it retrieves the address from the program counter register. At the end of the instruction fetch, the CPU reads the instruction code from the system data bus. It stores this value in an internal register, usually called the instruction register or something similar. The arithmetic logic unit or ALU performs most arithmetic and logical operations, such as adding or ANDing values. It receives its operands from the register section of the CPU and stores its results back in the register section. Since the ALU must complete its operations within a single clock cycle, it is constructed using only combinatorial logic. The ADD instructions in the relatively simple CPU and the 8085 microprocessor use the ALU during their executions. Just as the CPU controls the computer (in addition to its other functions), the control unit controls the CPU. This unit generates the internal control signals that cause registers to load data, increment or clear their contents, and output their contents, as well as cause the ALU to perform the correct function. These signals are shown as control signals in Figure 2-3. The control unit receives some data values from the register unit, which it uses to generate the control signals. This data includes the instruction code and the values of some flag registers. The control unit also generates the signals for the system control bus, such as the READ, WRITE, and IO / M signals. A microprocessor typically performs a sequence of operations to fetch, decode, and execute an instruction. By asserting these internal and external control signals in the proper sequence, the control unit causes the CPU and the rest of the computer to perform the operations needed to correctly process instructions. This description of the CPU is incomplete. Current processors have more complex features that improve their performance. One such mechanism, the instruction pipeline, allows the CPU to fetch one instruction while simultaneously executing another instruction..

Digital Equipment Corp. came out with the first 64-bit processor, the Alpha, in 1992, and Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Sun Microsystems soon followed. What’s new is the idea that “industry standard” computers, not just Unix boxes, may process information in 64-bit chunks, as well. What changed? In 2001, Intel released its Itanium 64-bit processor, prompting Microsoft to get serious about producing a 64-bit version of Windows. Other significant new 64-bit processors include AMD’s Opteron and IBM’s Power4. How does it compare with 32-bit? By definition, a 64-bit processor can process twice as many bits (1s and 0s) of data as a 32-bit chip can in the same number of compute cycles. Because it’s the number of combinations of bits that really matters, this translates to much more than twice the processing power. Thirty-two bits factors out to 4,294,967,296 possible combinations, or 4GB of data, that can be addressed. Sixty-four, on the other hand, raises the roof to 18,446,744,073,709,551,616. That’s 16 exabytes—two orders of magnitude beyond a terabyte. Why would my company need it? As businesses grow more dependent on complex data analysis for standard operations, fast processors become increasingly necessary. Take a supply-chain-optimization application. Such a program might require sorting through all combinations of inventory item and location. When thousands of items and locations are involved, memory requirements can make data impossibly slow to analyze. And while 64-bit is overkill for most desktop users, it may be necessary for graphic artists and animators—something Apple probably had in mind with the G5 processor, a Power4 variant. What are the issues? Having a 64-bit chip doesn’t automatically make a computer faster. The theoretical limit may be enormous, but the ability of subsystems such as the bus to move data into and out of memory can produce a practical limit. For example, Apple says the 64-bit G5 should eventually support 4 TB of data, but can only handle 8 GB today. The faster chip also requires that the operating system and applications that run on top of it be recompiled for 64-bit processing. The Itanium does allow 32-bit applications to run unchanged, but.

(8) 计算机专业英语(第二版). 18. with a hit on performance. In fact, 32-bit applications may actually run slower on Itanium than they would on a 32-bit Intel Xeon. AMD took a more evolutionary approach with its Opteron processor which extends a 32-bit design to handle 64-bit operations. This means that unmodified 32-bit applications don’t suffer the same performance penalty as the Itanium. How much 64-bit software is available? Unix operating systems like Sun Solaris, HP-UX and IBM AIX have been running on 64-bit processors for years, so Unix software vendors supply these products as a matter of course. Windows Server 2003 is the first Microsoft operating system to fully support 64-bit computing (on Itanium).Linux implementations for Itanium also are beginning to appear. Commercial software applications are following slowly. For example, i2 Technologies’ Supply Chain Planner for 64-bit Windows on Itanium 2 is currently supported for pilot projects only. How does Itanium compare with the Xeon? The 32-bit Xeon will almost certainly remain the default Windows server processor for years to come because of its support for existing applications and the fact that many applications don’t really need 64-bit power. However, Itanium allows Windows to break into territory that used to be exclusive to Unix servers, such as large-scale graphics or simulation applications that require each processor to work with more than 4 GB of memory at a time. Most Xeon-based servers are limited to eight processors; Itanium can support up to 32.. 计算机英语专业词汇的构成 英语的词汇构成有很多种,英语真正的基本词汇是不多的,很大部分词汇属于构成型词 汇。这里,仅介绍在专业英语中遇到的专业词汇及其构成。目前,各行各业都有一些自己领域 的专业词汇,有的是随着本专业发展应运而生的,有的是借用公共英语中的词汇,有的是借用 外来语言词汇,有的则是人为构造成的词汇。 一、派生词(derivation) 这类词汇非常多,它是根据已有的词加上某种前后缀,或以词根生成、或以构词成分形 成新的词。科技英语词汇中有很大一部分来源于拉丁语、希腊语等外来语,有的是直接借用, 有的是在它们之上不断创造出新的词汇。这些词汇的构词成分(前缀、后缀、词根等)较固定, 构成新词以后便于读者揣度词义,易于记忆。 1.前缀 采用前缀构成的单词在计算机专业英语中占了很大比例,通过下面的实例可以了解这些 常用的前缀构成的单词。 multi- 多 hyper- 超级 super- 超级 multiprogram 多道程序 hypercube 超立方 superhighway 超级公路 multimedia 多媒体 hypercard 超级卡片 superpipline 超流水线 multiprocessor 多处理器 hypermedia 超媒体 superscalar 超标量 multiplex 多路复用 hypertext 超文本 superset 超集.
