asm Keywords

asm Keyword 1 Von Neuman vs Harvard Architecture

In the begining there were many forms of cpu archituecture but two forms of cpu Architecture stood out and became the most used.

Definition

the Deffination of Von Neuman cpu is one that subdivids cpu alu registers and instructions. the deffination of Harvard Architecture is one that taht physcaly seperates the storage instructions alu and conrtol unit.

Demonstration

not sure how

asm Keyword 2 fetch cycle

the cycle in which the computer most basic process is which it fetches a instruction and then dose an action that instruction is told to do.

Definition

the most basic cycle a computer can and has to perform to even be considered a computer which it dose from start up and shut down.

Demonstration

not sure how

asm Keyword 3 Binary and Hexadecimal Number Representation

looking at this statement what frist comes to mind is how to do it which a set of 2 state base represented by a 16 state base system.

Definition

binary and hexidecmal number representation is a systemt o represent decimal base 10 numbers in a specail way where was 2 in binary is 10 and in hex its 2 but 16 in binary is 1000 in hex its F0.

Demonstration

will come later

asm Keyword 4 Processor & Memory Organization

Definition

processors and memory are closely related due to teh fact that both can store and send input and out put teh only difference is that memory is that u are taking in a state in memory and giving that same state out but processing may change that saved state befor giving it out as an out put.

Demonstration

not sure how

asm Keyword 5 Registers(float pointer, general purpose/interger accumulater, Data)

Definition

these types of registers are actual data retaining Registers to processed in the cpu or pushed back out on the RAM for further instruction from CPU. Foat pointer is one type of register to be pointed at a data or interger to be processed or used Accumulater is a register that is a addition by byte Full adder or half adder with carry Data is the large chunk of information in large somes to be processed or used general purpose is self explanitory but however is the actual data waiting for be processed in stead of the entire data stream it is just but one part

Demonstration

No working code

asm Keyword 6 registers(program counter, flag/sataus, stack pointer

Definition

Program counter gives the process ID to the data being processed with a set varible as an interger Flag/Status is a interger varible that ntoifies the processor what to do either ignore or use in some sense stack pointer is pointing to the next thing to be processed and rolled out or to which Stakc the info is comming or going to

Demonstration

No working code

asm Keyword 7 Registers (index pointer)

Definition

index pointer im going to go out on a limb with out lookign it up this is the pointer to whcih the information just went so the stack pointer to which the next move will be going

Demonstration

no working code

asm Keyword 8 Cisc Vs Risc

Definition

Cisc cpu- Emphasis on hardware memory to memory: load and store incorperates stndard instuction set small code cycles high clock rate transistors used to hold complex algorythms Risc cpu- emphasis on software Register to register: load and store instuction set is independant large code cycles low clock rate tranistors mostly used for storage

Demonstration

unless i can post a link here i dont think i'll have one any time soon

Understanding the impact of number systems

Definition

number systems in a general sense is how we as human beings account for mutitudes of simular if not same objects or concepts, number systems change human life in early human due to befor the advent of number systems we could only barter. the most common number ststem today is the Decimal a base ten number system also refered to as count numbers or natural numbers. how ever this maybe the most commonly spoke or used to understand numbers or mathamtics the most used and applied number system is one we call binary a two base number system often refered to as zero and one.

Method

the method of understanding how number systems work is one that is on going even for the math literate (aka mathmatitions)(that most likely is spelt wrong) methods of which we use daily even as we think its possible that are minds are running amath matical sequnce to interpert and dictate and solve non math equations much like a computer may.

Measurement

we can only measure mathmatical progress and number system progress once we have no use for it any longer or when it solves or proves a natural law

Analysis

we both take advantage of and neglect numbersystem with out which we could not exist in the common “modern” era i put qoutes around modern as to refer the most common areas of civalization
