machine language



Understanding Performance
Hardware or software component

performance
Algorithm
Determines both the number of
source-level statements and the
number of I/O operations executed
Programming language, compiler, and
architecture
Determines the number of machine
instructions for each source-level
statement
Processor and memory system

be executed
I/O system (hardware and operating
system)
Determines how fast I/O operations
may be executed
2010/9/14
Below your program



A hardware in a computer can only
execute low-level instructions
Needs several layers of software to
interpret or translate high-level operations
into simple computer instructions
Layers of software are organized primarily
in a hierarchical fashion

From a High-level Language
to the Language of Hardware




The machine alphabet is just two letters; “on”
and “off”
1 and 0 are the two symbols for these two
letters
We refer to each letter as a binary digit or bit
Instructions are just collections of bits that the
computer understands
 For example: 1000110010100000
20
2010/9/14





The first programmers communicated to computers in
binary numbers
They quickly invented new notations that were closer
to the way humans think
 Translated to binary by hand
Finally, using the machine to help program the
machine
The first of these programs was named an assembler
Assembler: a program that translates a symbolic
version of instructions into the binary version
21


Assembler: a program that translates a symbolic version of
instructions into the binary version

add A, B
1000110010100000

The name for this symbolic language is called assembly
language

High-level programming language: a portable language such
as C, Fortran, or Java composed of words and algebraic
notations that can be translated by a compiler into assembly
language

A+B
add A, B
1000110010100000

Benefits of High-level
Programming Languages



Allow the programmer to think in a more
natural language
Improve programmer productivity
Allow programs to be independent of the
computer on which they were developed

The BIG Picture


The five classic components
are

The last two sometimes
combined and called the
processor(處理器)

Anatomy of a Mouse



The original mouse was electromechanical
It used a large ball that when rolled across a surface
would cause an x and y counter to be incremented
The amount of increase in each counter told how far
the mouse had been moved

每三年便會提高四倍的容量,相當每年百分之六十。每三年增加四倍的估
計為動態隨機存取記憶體的成長法則。近年來,成長率已經逐漸趨緩,而
稍微接近每二年倍增或每四年增加四倍。
