Computer Organization and Architecture Final Project

Concept Map

Using the presentation concept map you created in Weeks 1 to 4 in the
course, add the final component you worked on in Week 5. Based on the
feedback you received on your concept map in the previous weeks, refine
your concept map where you identify the basic components of modern
computers; describe different categories of instructions, operations,
operands, and number representations for a machine instruction set;
interpret machine-level arithmetic operations; describe the various
memory technologies and the levels of the memory hierarchy; and explain
the principles and aspects related to instruction execution.

The Paper
Utilizing the content of your refined concept map, revise your
interactive assignment initial posts from Weeks 1 through 5 in a Word
document as follows:
Review the feedback from your Week 1 interactive assignment,
Computer Technology and Instructions. Revise your post based on the
feedback from your instructor and peers, adding any refined elements
concerning the five classical computer components, performance, and the
measure of computer performance. Using credible sources, research and
provide an example of a computer systems instruction set and/or
operands.
Review the feedback from your Week 2 interactive assignment,
Arithmetic for Computers, in which you interpreted machine-level
addition and subtraction operations of the arithmetic and logic unit
(ALU) of the computer, multiplication and division operations, and
example algorithms to perform these operations. Revise your post based
on the feedback from your instructor and/or peers. You also summarized
the arithmetic operations using floating-point representation. Revise
your summary based on peer and/or instructor feedback
Review the feedback from your Week 3 interactive assignment, The
Processor, in which you provided an example of a pipelining approach,
examined the basic implementation of a processor, and explained the
functionality and interaction of datapaths. Revise your post based on
the feedback from your instructor and peers, adding any elements that
may enhance your initial post.
Review the work you completed and comments you received in the
Week 4 interactive assignment, Exploiting Memory Hierarchy, in which you
defined the basics of caches and measuring and improving cache
performance and summarized the concepts of dependable memory hierarchy,
virtual machines, and virtual memory. Revise your post based on the
feedback from your instructor and peers, adding any elements that may
enhance your initial post.
Summarize your initial post from the Week 5 interactive assignment
where you discussed the goals and principles of computer architecture
parallelism; explained the challenges of creating parallel processing
programs; and reviewed the concepts of SISD, MIMD, SIMD, and SPMD and
Vector processing.
Explain the fundamental concepts that influence computer
organization and architecture. Predict how organizations will use these
concepts about future computer organization and design.
