There is no ALU chip. Or rather, there is; it’s just that an entire RISC CPU is implemented in basic logic chips and a whole lot of microcode on the ROM. It’s weird, yes, but it is cool.

It turns assembly language into something, but the instruction set that the inner CPU, ALU, et al use was completely unknown. [Philip] walked us through their first line of attack, which was ...

Topics will include CPU control and ALU operation, computer timing, data address and I/O bus activity, addressing model, programmed and DMA I/O, and instruction sets and micro code. Pre-Req: EECE 2650 ...

The CPU and memory work together to process instructions and run programs. There are different types of memory – volatile and non-volatile. The Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) is where the CPU ...
