C952 - Computer Architecture with 100%
correct answers
embedded computer
a computer embedded inside a device, used for a specific purpose

Ex: computer embedded in a Smart TV


how is performance improved today?
by utilizing parallel processing and hierarchical memory


moore's law
integrated circuit resources double every ~2 years


abstraction
simplify a model by hiding low-level details

Ex: hiding memory management in Java


common case
common uses/needs


make the common case fast
making the most common uses of a system fast will enhance performance more than enhancing the
less common cases


parallel computing
a model in which programs are broken into small pieces, some of which are run simultaneously


pipelining
moving multiple operations through hardware units that each do a piece of an operation

it's faster to have many small units helping than have one monolithic unit to do everything


predictive processing
processing data ahead of when it's needed by predicting the outcome of another operation

if predictions are frequently accurate, this can speed up processing


hierarchical memory
using a combination of fast, small memory and larger, slower tiers of memory to support it.

Ex: CPU cache, RAM, SSD, HDD (in that order)


dependability via redundancy
introducing redundancy allows systems to continue in the event failures

,systems software
operating system, BIOS, other software that runs on top of the hardware


assembler
a program that translates symbolic versions of instructions to their binary version


assembly language
a symbolic representation of machine instructions


machine language
the binary representation of machine instructions


high-level programming language
a language composed of words and algebraic notation that can be translated into assembly


control (computer organization)
sends signals that determine instructions for other components to perform


datapath (computer organization)
performs instructions and calculations on data


raster refresh buffer (frame buffer)
memory that stores the bitmap for the frame to display on the screen


dynamic random access memory (DRAM)
A type of memory that is used to provide random access to any location in memory


static random access memory (SRAM)
faster than DRAM but stores less in the same area


cache memory
small, fast memory that keeps a redundant copy of data in larger, slower memory


instruction set architecture (architecture)
An abstract interface between the hardware and the lowest-level software that encompasses all the
information necessary to write a machine language program that will run correctly, including
instructions, registers, memory access, I/O, and so on.

Ex: x86, RISC-V


application binary interface (ABI)
the user portion of the instruction set plus OS interfaces used by application programmers

defines a standard for binary portability across computers

, implementation
hardware that obeys the architecture abstraction


volatile memory
storage in which data is only retained while it's receiving power

Ex: DRAM


nonvolatile memory
memory that retains data even in the absence of power

Ex: HDD


main/primary memory
memory used to hold programs while they're running

Ex: DRAM


secondary memory
nonvolatile memory used to store programs/data

Ex: SSD/HDD


very large-scale integrated (VLSI) circuit
a device containing hundreds of thousands to millions of transistors


semiconductor
a substance that doesn't conduct electricity well


chip manufacturing process
ingot -> wafer -> pattered wafer -> test -> dies -> packaged dies -> test -> shipping


defect
a microscopic flaw in a wafer or patterning steps that can result in the failure of the die containing the
defect


die
individual rectangular section cut from a wafer


response/execution time
the total time required for a computer to complete a task, including all convoluting factors


throughput/bandwidth
a measure of performance - the number of tasks completed per unit time
