Introduction
Von Neumann Architecture
 Von Neumann architecture was first published by John von Neumann in
1945.His computer architecture design consists of a Control Unit, Arithmetic
and Logic Unit (ALU), Memory Unit, Registers and Inputs/Outputs.Von
Neumann architecture is based on the stored-program computer concept,
where instruction data and program data are stored in the same
memory. This design is still used in most computers produced today.
Central processing unit
 A central processing unit (CPU), also called a central
processor, main processor or just processor, is the electronic
circuitry that executes instructions comprising a computer program.
The CPU performs basic arithmetic, logic, controlling,
and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions in the
program. This contrasts with external components such as main
memory and I/O circuitry, and specialized processors such as graphics
processing units .The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the electronic
circuit responsible for executing the instructions of a computer
program. It is sometimes referred to as the microprocessor or
processor. The CPU contains the ALU, CU and a variety of registers
ARITHMETIC LOGIC UNIT
 An arithmetic-logic unit is the part of a central processing unit that carries out
arithmetic and logic operations on the operands in computer instruction words.
 In some processors, the ALU is divided into two units: an arithmetic unit (AU)
and a logic unit (LU).
 The ALU allows arithmetic (add, subtract etc) and logic (AND, OR, NOT etc)
operations to be carried out.
CONTROL UNIT
 The control unit controls the operation of the computer’s ALU, memory and
input/output devices, telling them how to respond to the program
instructions it has just read and interpreted from the memory unit.
 The control unit also provides the timing and control signals required by other
computer components.
 It instructs the memory, logic unit, and both output and input devices of the
computer on how to respond to the program's instructions. CPUs and GPUs are
examples of devices that use control units.
BUSES
Buses are the means by which data is transmitted from one part of a
computer to another, connecting all major internal components to the
CPU and memory.
ADDRESS BUS:
Carries the addresses of data (but not the data) between the processor
and memory
DATA BUS:
Carries data between the processor, the memory unit and the
input/output devices
CONTROL BUS:
Carries control signals/commands from the CPU (and status signals from
other devices) in order to control and coordinate all the activities
within the computer
REGISTERS
 Registers are high speed storage areas in the CPU. All data must be stored in
a register before it can be processed.
MAR Memory Address Register
Holds the memory location of data that
needs to be accessed
MDR Memory Data Register
Holds data that is being transferred to
or from memory
AC Accumulator
Where intermediate arithmetic and
logic results are stored
PC Program Counter
Contains the address of the next
instruction to be executed
CIR Current Instruction Register
Contains the current instruction during
processing
Memory Unit
DEFINATION:
A memory unit is the amount of data that the memory can hold.
 The memory unit consists of RAM, sometimes referred to as primary or main
memory. Unlike a hard drive (secondary memory), this memory is fast and
also directly accessible by the CPU.
 RAM is split into partitions. Each partition consists of an address and its
contents (both in binary form).
 The address will uniquely identify every location in the memory.
