Computer Architecture
computer architecture is a set of rules and methods that describe the functionality, organization, and implementation of computer systems. Some definitions of architecture define it as describing the capabilities and programming model of a computer but not a particular implementation
The interactions between the design of a computers instruction set and the design of compilers that generate code for that computer have serious implications for overall computational cost and efficiency. This article, which investigates those interactions, should ideally be based on
BEE3: Revitalizing computer architecture research

In recent years, advances in computer architecture have slowed dramatically with most simulation results demonstrating only incremental architectural innovation. This is further exacerbated by increased processor and system complexity spurred by a seemingly The literature on computer architecture is extensive and diverse, hence I viewed the words A Modem Synthesis in this books title with a certain skepticism. The author, however, delivers on the titles promise: the book is modem and it is a synthesis. Although a number of

A Register is a single, permanent storage location within the CPU Registers be small as a single bit or wide as several bytes Registers are used to hold data, instructions, I/O address, or special binary codes Registers inside the CPU are called: General-Purposes Registers
Pendulum–a reversible computer architecture

Energy dissipation in modern microprocessors is rapidly becoming a primary design concern. Microprocessors containing a few million transistors and dissipating tens of watts are commonplace, limiting their usefulness in portable applications and making heat AIthough the term computer architecture has been used for many years, its definition is still vague. For some, computer architecture is the interface seen by the machine language programmer, namely, the instruction set. For others, computer ar-chitecture is a subset ofDirect-execution computer architecture can make programming truly interactive, offer a means for a com- plete programming language definition, and provide a measure of programming language complexity. Before examining in detail these three relationships between the architecture and T his article presents techniques for managing a very large data/knowl-T edge baseto support multiple in-ference-mechanisms for logic programming. Because evaluation of goals can require accessing data from the extensional database, or EDB, in very general ways
Special computer architecture for pattern recognition and image processing-An overview

This paper describes a web-based simulation based on a conceptual paradigm used to introduce computer architecture and assembly language programming to undergraduate students. An application has been developed using Java and made available on the web In any age, education is important, no matter what our fields of interest. It be even more important in an age when research and development activity becomes an important part of commercial ventures or when national policy is concerned. Such an important topic usually
