  9. The task of the computer designer • Determine whatattributes are important for a new machine, then design a machine to maximizeperformance while staying within cost and power constraints. • This task has manyaspects • instruction set design • functional organization • logic design • implementation. • integrated circuit design • Packaging • Power • cooling • Optimizing the design requires familiaritywith a very wide range of technologies: • Compilers • operating systems • logic design • packaging. ACOE301 - Computer Architecture II - Frederick University

  10. Basic Terminology • instruction set architecturerefers to is the part of the processor that is visible to the programmer or compiler writer. The instruction set architecture serves as the boundary betweenthe software and hardware • Hardwareis used to refer to the specifics of a machine • detailed logic design • Implementation/packaging technology • Often aline of machines contains machines with identical instruction set architecturesand nearly identical organizations, but they differ in the detailed hardware implementation. • For example, the Pentium II and Celeron are nearly identical, but offerdifferent clock rates and different memory systems, • In this course the wordcomputer architectureis intended tocover all three aspects of computer design • instruction set architecture • Organization • hardware ACOE301 - Computer Architecture II - Frederick University

  11. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE • 1st generation: 1945 - 1955 • Tubes, punchcards • 2nd generation: 1955 - 1965 • transistors • 3rd generation: 1965 – 1980 • Integrated circuits • 4th generation: 1980 – • PCs and workstations ACOE301 - Computer Architecture II - Frederick University

  12. 1st generation (1945-1955) • Programming was done in machine language • No operating system • Programming and maintenance done by one group of people ACOE301 - Computer Architecture II - Frederick University

  13. ENIAC – The first electronic computer (1946) 18,000 tubes 300 Tn 170 KWatt ACOE301 - Computer Architecture II - Frederick University

  14. 2nd generation (1955-1965) • Transistor-based • Fairly reliable • Clear distinction between designers, manufacturers, users, programmers, and support personnel. • Only afforded by governments, universities or large companies (millions $) ACOE301 - Computer Architecture II - Frederick University

  15. 2nd generation (1955-1965) • Program was first written on paper (FORTRAN) and then punched into cards • Cards were then delivered to the user. • Mostly used for scientific and technical calculations • Solving differential equations ACOE301 - Computer Architecture II - Frederick University

  16. 3rd generation (1965-1980) • IC-based operation • IBM develops compatible systems • Tradeoffs in performance, memory, I/O etc). • Greater MHz/$ ACOE301 - Computer Architecture II - Frederick University

  17. 4th generation (1980-1990) • LSI-based PCs • Significantly cheaper • User-friendly software • 2 dominant operating systems: • MS DOS: IBM PC(8088, 80286, 80386, 80486) • UNIX: RISC workstations ACOE301 - Computer Architecture II - Frederick University

  18. 5th generation (1990-) • PC networks • Network operating systems • Each machine runs its own operating system • Users don’t care where their programs are being executed ACOE301 - Computer Architecture II - Frederick University

  19. Famous quotes • “Future computers may weigh less than 1,5 tn”, (1949) • “I believe there is a world market for five computers”, T. Watson, IBM CEO (1943) • “There is no particular reason why someone would want a computer at home”, K. Oslon, president of DEC(1974) • “640Κbytesof memory should be enough for anybody”, B.

  37. RISC vs. CISC • Complex instruction set computer (CISC): • Large instruction set; • Complex operations; • Complex addressing modes; • Complex hardware, long execution time; • Minimum number of instructions needed for a given task; • Easy to program, simpler compiler. • Reduced instruction set computer (RISC): • Small instruction set; • Simple instructions to allow for fast execution (fewer steps); • Large number of registers; • Only read/write (load/store) instructions should access the main memory, one MM access per instruction; • Simple addressing modes to allow for fast address computation; • Fixed-length instructions with few formats and aligned fields to allow for fast instruction decoding; • increased compiler complexity and compiling time; • simpler and faster hardware implementation,pipelined architecture.

  38. RISC vs. CISC example • CISC (M68000) • Add the content of MM location pointed to by A3 to the component of an array starting at MM address 100. The index number of the component is in A2. The content of A3 is then automatically incremented by 1. • RISC (MIPS) ACOE301 - Computer Architecture II - Frederick University
