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 ...

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.

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 ...
