Entry 1: January 25, 2012

ASM & HPC

As an aid, feel free to use the following questions to help you generate content for your entries:

  • What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date?
  • ^ Not much minus the fact that i will be using on C++ and C alot to write the CPU emulator and in HPC i will have to figuer out something maybe the trinary thing Joe and Matt have been kicking around like a lost dog to be scoulded at
  • Why was this significant?
  • ^ This is Significant do to the fact it will be a great refersher course as well as a CPU archutype course that can be used in greater scale in the forseable future and in HPC a Trinary system would be able to do complex algorythms in a faction of the time cutting down on over head and time delays by possible seconds if not minutes and by doing so might possble make a artifical snse of reason and not just a logical thought pattern
  • What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense?
  • Tinary systems have a verity of possible out comes and applications such as u get a set of 3 inputsn and that 3 inputs gives u either an single out put or mutiple out puts to be rpocessed like a binary stsyem would do or a completely different gate system where if u get A(example) u get B out or get C in and get A out or get B in and get C out (which btw i think is a waste of data)
  • What challenges are you facing with respect to the course?
  • many in ASM but nothing i havent encountered befor in some way but in HPC i dont know where to even fathum to begin like i said maybe i'll make documentation about both poossible ways to utilize a trinary CPU.

Entry 2: Febuary 1, 2012

This week i started reading on how to use forks for HPC Sys&networking so no HPC class updates as well ASM we have gates and now were to remake those gates by using just 3 of of the gates AND OR and NOT

  • What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date?
  • ^Gates of logical brilliance imagen if we had to still make 18 different types of tubes to render the ideas
  • Why was this significant?
  • ^3 verus 18 cut down on the size of a transiter and the number of them instantly and the use of 1/0 insted of 1-18 different combnbinatiosn was a great thing
  • What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense?
  • ^how to make a CPU run on just gates that form flipflops that form registers that form a portion of memory.
  • What challenges are you facing with respect to the course?
  • ^possible trinary logic

Entry 3: Febuary 14, 2012

  • What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date?
  • that what transistors are are logic gates when u puit more then 1 logic gate/Tranistor together they become a circute
  • Why was this significant?
  • this is significant due to the fact that we can predict and use circutes both physicaly and virtualy
  • What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense?
  • Flip Flop AND and Flip Flop OR latch because of the gate needs to know one of the answers befor it can process
  • What challenges are you facing with respect to the course?
  • Opus due dates and Flip Flop use

Entry 4: January Day, 2012

  • What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date?
  • going over what a flip flop is used for and how the logic table pans out
  • Why was this significant?
  • because in ordered to do both my Trinary Reasrech for HPC2 and my ASM virtual processor i will need to know how the flip flop works in regards to at least a binary algorythm
  • What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense?
  • the Tinary Gates i have completed with my technique are NOT OR and AND currently i have only posted NOT and will work up documentation for OR and AND later
  • What challenges are you facing with respect to the course?
  • damn registers

Keywords

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

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

hpc2 Keywords

hpc2 Keyword 1 Trinary

the 3 state type equivalent to binary whcih has 2 states

Definition

In my mind Trinay is the next evolutionary step in creating a better faster stronger and smarter computer or eletronic device,and must be redisgned form ground up or if not it would mean nothing more then a Binary approch to a Trinary qeustion.

Demonstration

Demonstration of the chosen keyword.

you ahve three states possible A B and C and each one of them has two out comes such as A can give you B and C B can give you A and C C can give you B and A

hpc2 Keyword 2 Tryte

Agian in my ideas a Tryte is a set of Trinary States that form a data code or a instruction needing to be solve aka processed.

Definition

Now mind u im working a different premise then most who are in the lair and who take HPC2 in that i belive a Tryte is not 9 states but instead 3 states in a single set and mutiples of these are a data stream with mutiple and useful outcomes.

Demonstration

The demonstration of this will be explained and shown below in HPC observation.

hpc2 Keyword 3 Tythe

the Name i ahve given to a single state with an trinary system other wise we would use bit which stand for binart interger transistor i belive and if we were to incorperate trinary wi would be come tit and i think that would be inaproperate but funny.

Definition

Agian a single state with a trinary system i am calling Tythe.

Demonstration

this will be expalined i more detail in my hpc2 observation 1

hpc2 Keyword 4 Tirnary Not Logic

the Not logic im thinking is not a single state in a single state out its a single in and 2 states out.

Definition

by Defination a trinary computer could be easy stated to be a putting a 0 and getting both 1 and 2 out.

asm Keyword 15 Storage

Definition

Storage is in simplest terms to store something in computer admistative and archutecture this means several things everything from save state such as a logic gate form register can store a single bit of info or state as well as magnetic storage is different were its not saved via gat logic but by physiacly changeing the orentation of data requested.

Demonstration

asm Keyword 16 Machine Word

Definition

Machine word is another wat to say machine lanague and is the common base lanague for all machine not just computers but ALL machines the common mistake is to think of machine lanague as of nothing but 1s and 0s that is out it is interperted by humans how ever machione lanague is much more like on and off such as is there current or isnt there current.

asm Objective

familiarity with the organization of a computer system

Definition

organization of a computer systyem can broken down to its simplist form or a register bit system for commands

Method

method of which is stil ebing covered for the most part the register is built of common table whcih is encoded into the program (aka a bios or ROM) as it stands the basic needed regsters for a computer are the three logical gate for a binary system a move from memory to register and vice versa and a 4th to accomidate movement between gates and acess to data

Measurement

the method stood almost entirely alone until we discovered the problem of which we needed certain peramiters to cover unknown quanities such as a half or full adder carry to factored in to the move or reuse of a and or a or function

Analysis

Reflect upon your results of the measurement to ascertain your achievement of the particular course objective.

  • How did you do?
  • unsure but it looks promising from were i stand and from what i understand of the thought process and implementation
  • Is there room for improvement?
  • well considering we are using a RISC instead of the more common CISC command structure yes i would have prefered to do that instead of continueing to stumble aroudn in the dark with out a flash light or a light source
  • Could the measurement process be enhanced to be more effective?
  • not sure all i will say
  • Do you think this enhancement would be efficient to employ?
  • yes for simple processes its a well thought of and simple construct
  • Could the course objective be altered to be more applicable? How would you alter it?
  • less threoy of what things could be and more this is the standard how could we change it type idea

it is the bus in which data rides on from one place on the motehr board to another and even some times out of of the computer entirely- is however funny it may seems is almost entirely true the bus is not an accual bus but out ever a siereis of data flow devices able to direct a stream of data from one point to another apon request

Demonstration

asm Objective

asm Objective

experience using registers, stacks, and branches

Definition

Registers are what you may think of may be a way to store a single state or manuplate that same state lets say 1 or 0 however Registers can also be thought of the system instuction set can be located whcih is also be managed by stacks Stacks can hold said registers in a larger form of storage Branches are a system to run more or extra register types or to refernce anotehr stop in the stack or stacks

Method

AND flipflop and OR flipflop are the most common registers used to store or maintain states desired Stacks are what is used with in the cpu to store and recusively cicle through registers that are being used Brnaches are a instuction set that can be used to almost perform a forking process to be done and possible implement a change some where else or to return a value or data type

Measurement

now if i or we can getr the instuction code to complie run and exicute utalizing a stack fed with hexidecmals refernced to a instuction regstery and able to maniuplate a single stream of data we will knwo if this semester was a flop or a flip
