    This document contains the answers to two questions about computer architecture submitted by a student named Azan bin imran for their Computer Architecture class. Question 1 defines structure and function, describes Von Neumann architecture and the differences between a processor, memory, and input/output devices. It also explains the instruction fetch and execute cycle. Question 2 describes main memory types like ROM, the difference between computer organization and architecture, and the elements needed for bus design and bus structure.

    Assignment no 1 :

    Submitted to : MR humayoun
    Submitted by : Azan bin imran
    Roll no : bcsm-s20-019
    subject : Computer Architecture

    Question no 1:

    Describe the difference between Function & Structure?


    STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
    • Structure is the way in which components relate to each other.
    • Function is the operation of individual components as part of the structure.

    a) Describe Von Neuman Architecture?


    The Von Neumann architecture, also known as the Princeton architecture, is a computer architecture based on
    that described in 1945 by the mathematician and physicist John Von Neumann. ... A stored-program digital
    computer is one that keeps its program instructions, as well as its data, in read-write, random-access memory.

    b) Describe the difference between Processor, Memory, Input Out


    Devices?
    Processor:
    In computing, a processor or processing unit is a digital circuit which performs operations on
    some external data source, usually memory or some other data stream. It typically takes the form
    of a microprocessor, which can be implemented on a single metal–oxide–semiconductor integrated
    circuit chip
    Memory:
    Memory is the process of taking in information from the world around us, processing it,
    storing it and later recalling that information, sometimes many years later. ... Additionally,
    related to both navigation and autobiographical memory is the ability to think about events that
    might happen in the future.
    Input Output Devices:
     An input device is something you connect to a computer that sends information into the
    computer.
     An output device is something you connect to a computer that has information sent to
    it.

    c) Describe the Instruction Fetch and Execute cycle?

     Instruction Execution Cycle. The time period during which one instruction is fetched from memory and
    execute when computer given an instruction in machine language. Each instruction is further divided into
    sequence of phases. After the execution of program counter is incremented to point to the next instruction.

     The CPU fetches the instructions one at a time from the main memory into the registers. One register
    is the program counter (pc). ...
     The CPU decodes the instruction.
     The CPU executes the instruction.
     Repeat until there are no more instructions.
    Question no 2 :
    a) Describe Main memory ROM & also elaborate its various types?

    Computer memory is of two basic types – Primary memory(RAM and ROM) and Secondary memory (hard
    drive, CD, etc). Random Access Memory (RAM) is primary-volatile memory and Read Only Memory
    (ROM) is primary-non-volatile memory. It is also called read-write memory or the main memory or the
    primary memory.

    b) Describe the difference between Organization and Architecture?

     Computer architecture refers to those attributes of a system visible to a programmer or, put another
    way, those attributes that have a direct impact on the logical execution of a program.
     Computer organization refers to the operational units and their interconnections that realize the
    architectural specifications.

    c) Describe the various Elements required for a Bus Design also explains
    the Bus Structure?

    Address and data information may be transmitted over the same set of lines. At the
    beginning of the data transfer the address is placed on the bus and the address valid line is
    activated. The address is then remove from the same bus line is used for data transfer.
