ENIAC
• The first practical
computer
• Built in 1945,
weighed more than
30 tons
• Require 1500 sq. feet
In 1949, Popular Mechanics magazine predicted
“computers in the future may perhaps only weigh
1.5 tons !!!”

Brain of the computer
Manages all devices and performs the actual
processing of data
Carry out instructions given by user
For Personal Computer (PC), the CPU is usually
included in a single Integrated Circuit (IC) chip
(called Microprocessor)
Nowadays, one or more microprocessors (chips)
can be used to form a CPU
 Parallel Processing

Memory

Internal memory / Main memory
 Random Access memory (RAM)

Main feature 1: volatile
 requires continuous supply of electrical power
to retain information
Main feature 2: cheap in terms of bytes per dollar
 suitable for large volume data storage
Functions:
 Receive commands / data from keyboard
 Store info ready to be sent to output
 Store currently running programs/their data
 Store immediate data generated by the currently
running programs

Only Memory (ROM)
Main feature 1: non-volatile
 data retain even when the power is off
Main feature 2: relatively expensive and can only be
written once
 suitable for storing essential data but in small
volume
Usually used for system boot up and basic control of I/O
devices
 When a computer first powers up, nothing is in RAM
 Need ROM to store the instructions to set up
various I/O devices, such as disk interface card,
video adapter card, sound card, etc.
ROM is used to store BIOS (Basic Input/Output Systems)

Main differences between storage & memory:

Larger capacity in storage than in memory
Data in storage are retained while data in memory
disappear when power is off
Storage is much cheaper than memory

Stored Program Concept
–
In 1949, Dr John Von Neumann defined the stored
program concept that greatly affected the
development of nowadays computers
–
Suggested that program instructions should be
stored in a memory unit just like data
 Instructions: Commands of user
 Data: Information that commands work on
–
Hence rather than hardware programmable, should
be software programmable

Most CPUs have built in a few hundreds of standard
operations
– E.g. add, subtract, multiplication, division, AND, OR,
NOT, etc.
Each operation is represented by an instruction code
– E.g.
Add
1010100101
–
Subtract
1000100001
–
:
When an instruction code is fetched from memory to the
CPU, the CPU knows that the corresponding operation
should be performed

different instruction codes
• Called as Machine Language Program, since it is written by 0
and 1, the only language that the CPU can understand

Software - High Level Language
Programming
• Assembly language programming is still too complicated for
general users
• They are far from human used language
e.g. “Set W equal to W plus X minus Y divided by Z”
“Repeat the next sequence of instructions until X is less
than 0 or Y equals Z”
• A high level language is required to close the gap between
human and computers

Advantage: Less complicated than Machine Language. Usually
generate more efficient code than HLL
Disadvantage: Need the understanding of CPU structure. Still
difficult to program

How the OS is loaded into memory?
• When power up, nothing is in RAM. No control is
•
•
possible to the hard disk to load the OS
CPU starts to read the BIOS instructions stored in the
ROM
Things that normally perform
– Initialize all I/O devices: hard disk, video, mouse,
keyboard, CD-ROM, etc
– Load the bootstrap loader of the operating system
to RAM
– Start to execute the bootstrap loader in RAM
• The bootstrap loader further loads the other part of
38
the operating system to the RAM
