Assembly Language Total views (200)  
Machine instructions are represented by strings of 0's and 1's. Such patterns of 0's and 1's become cumbersome while programs are discussed or written. So, these patterns are represented and replaced by symbolic names. Some examples of symbolic names include Move, Add, Branch, 'Increment etc. When writing programs for a specific computer, the symbolic names are replaced by acronyms called mnemonic ......

Accessing I/O Devices, Interrupts-Interrupt Hardware, Enabling and Disabling Interrupts Total views (199)  
One of the basic features of a computer is its ability to exchange data with other devices. This communication capability enables a human operator, for example, to use a keyboard and a display screen to process text and graphics. We make extensive use of computers to communicate with other computers over the Internet and- access information around the globe. In other applications, computers are le ......

Handling Multiple Devices, Controlling Device Requests, Exceptions Total views (201)  
Let us now consider the situation where a number of devices capable of initiating interrupts are connected to the processor. Because these devices are operationally independent, there is no definite order in which they will generate interrupts. For example, device X may request an interrupt while an interrupt caused by device Y is being serviced, or several devices may request interrupts at exactl ......

Direct Memory Access, Buses, Interface Circuits Total views (199)  
The discussion in the previous sections concentrates on data transfer between the processor and I/O devices. Data are transferred by executing instructions such as Move DATAIN, RO An instruction to transfer input or output data IS executed only after the processor determines that the I/O device is ready. To do this, the processor either polls a status flag in the device interface or waits for th ......

Standard I/O Techniques- PCI BUS, SCSI BUS, USB Total views (199)  
The previous sections point out that there are several alternative designs for the bus of a computer. This variety means that I/O devices fitted with an interface circuit suitable for one computer may not be usable with other computers. A different interface may have to be designed for every combination of I/O device and computer, resulting in many different interfaces. The most practical solution ......

Basic Concepts,Semi-Conductor Ram Memories Total views (201)  
Memories are available in a wide range of speeds which range from 100ns to 10ns. Initially, they were very expensive than the magnetic core, which was used in the early computers. Due to the invention of VLSI design, the cost is very less. Hence, it is used extensively in implementing memories. In this section, let us discuss some issues related to memory system, their organizations, their differe ......

Virtual Memories and Secondary Storage Total views (199)  
Virtual memory is another important concept related to memory organization. Till now, we have assumed that the addresses generated by the processor directly specify physical locations in the memory. This may not always be the case. For reasons that will become apparent that data may be stored in physical memory locations that have addresses different from those specified by the program.
