  2. Computer architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_architecture

    Block diagram of a basic computer with uniprocessor CPU. Black lines indicate control flow, whereas red lines indicate data flow. Arrows indicate the direction of flow. In computer science and computer engineering, computer architecture is a description of the structure of a computer system made from component parts. [1]

  3. Block diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_diagram

    A block diagram is a diagram of a system in which the principal parts or functions are represented by blocks connected by lines that show the relationships of the blocks. [1] They are heavily used in engineering in hardware design, electronic design, software design, and process flow diagrams. Block diagrams are typically used for higher level ...

  4. von Neumann architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_architecture

    A von Neumann architecture scheme. The von Neumann architecture—also known as the von Neumann model or Princeton architecture—is a computer architecture based on the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC, [1] written by John von Neumann in 1945, describing designs discussed with John Mauchly, J. Presper Eckert at University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering.

  5. Central processing unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_processing_unit

    Block diagram of a basic uniprocessor-CPU computer. Black lines indicate data flow, whereas red lines indicate control flow; arrows indicate flow directions. Hardwired into a CPU's circuitry is a set of basic operations it can perform, called an instruction set. Such operations may involve, for example, adding or subtracting two numbers ...

  6. Microprocessor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor

    To avoid paying for a chip they did not want (and could not use), CTC released Intel from their contract and allowed them free use of the design. [53] Intel marketed it as the 8008 in April, 1972, as the world's first 8-bit microprocessor. It was the basis for the famous "Mark-8" computer kit advertised in the magazine Radio-Electronics in 1974 ...

  7. Hack computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_computer

    Hack Computer Block Diagram. The Hack computer hardware consists of three basic elements as shown in the block diagram. There are two separate 16-bit memory units and a central processing unit (CPU). Because data is moved and processed by the computer in 16-bit words, the Hack computer is classified as a 16-bit architecture.

  8. Single-board computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-board_computer

    A single-board computer (SBC) is a complete computer built on a single circuit board, with microprocessor (s), memory, input/output (I/O) and other features required of a functional computer. Single-board computers are commonly made as demonstration or development systems, for educational systems, or for use as embedded computer controllers.

  9. Embedded system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_system

    Embedded system. An embedded system is a specialized computer system —a combination of a computer processor, computer memory, and input/output peripheral devices—that has a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electronic system. [1][2] It is embedded as part of a complete device often including electrical or electronic hardware ...
