Review of Combinational Logic
What’s Computer Architecture?
Architecture (in general) =
Design of a functional structure
Computer Architecture (CA) =
Design of the logical structure and
functional organization of a computer system.
Especially its CPU and associated components
Computer Architecture does not traditionally include
other aspects of computer system design…
Enclosures, styling, packaging, applications, power
supplies, cooling systems, peripheral devices…
But these are all important in designing real-world products!
What is a Computer?
Not Just
This!
A computer is (most generally) any
information processing system!
Today, this almost always
means a digital system…
Though simple analog computers do exist…
Medieval
astrolabe
Also, today we usually mean a general-purpose,
universal, or at least programmable computer
Although a wide range of non-programmable digital
components exist that perform fixed functions
These could be considered simple special-purpose computers
Types of Computers
In this course, a “computer”
could be anything from the
simplest embedded
microprocessor…
…to the largest
supercomputer!
We will discuss architectural
techniques for parallel
computing if time permits…
Intel 4004 (1971)
(4-bit, 740 kHz)
Blue Gene/L (2005)
(65,536 processors,
136 TFlops, 1MW, 300 tons)
Levels of Computer Architecture
Computer architects may deal with design
elements at a variety of different levels…
Custom logic circuit & functional-unit designs.
CPU datapath pipelines, memory hierarchies.
Instruction-Set Architectures (ISAs)
Or other programming models.
Special compiler & operating system support.
Multiprocessing systems, interconnection
networks, distributed systems...
Levels of Design & Abstractions

• 221 million transistors!
(~US adult population)
• How are they used?
• What will we do as
transistor counts grow?
Most of chip is used for
memories, inst. decoding,
dynamic scheduling…
• Why is it done this way?
• How much more efficient
could it be if more of area
went to actual processing?
