This document discusses the organization and architecture of computers. It covers topics like instruction codes, computer registers, instruction cycles, and memory-referenced instructions. Specifically, it describes:
- Instruction codes are made up of operation codes and addresses/operands that instruct the computer to perform operations.
- Computer registers like the program counter, instruction register, and accumulator are needed to process instructions and data.
- The stored program concept allows instructions to be stored in memory and executed sequentially through an instruction cycle.
