  2. MIC-1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIC-1

    The MIC-1 is a CPU architecture invented by Andrew S. Tanenbaum to use as a simple but complete example in his teaching book Structured Computer Organization . It consists of a very simple control unit that runs microcode from a 512-words store. The Micro-Assembly Language (MAL) is engineered to allow simple writing of an IJVM interpreter, and ...

  3. Microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone

    Microphones are used in many applications such as telephones, hearing aids, public address systems for concert halls and public events, motion picture production, live and recorded audio engineering, sound recording, two-way radios, megaphones, and radio and television broadcasting.

  4. Computer architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_architecture

    In computer science and computer engineering, computer architecture is a description of the structure of a computer system made from component parts. [ 1] It can sometimes be a high-level description that ignores details of the implementation. [ 2] At a more detailed level, the description may include the instruction set architecture design ...

  5. Peripheral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral

    Peripheral. A peripheral device, or simply peripheral, is an auxiliary hardware device that a computer uses to transfer information externally. [1] A peripheral is a hardware component that is accessible to and controlled by a computer but is not a core component of the computer. A peripheral can be categorized based on the direction in which ...

  6. Data buffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_buffer

    In computer science, a data buffer (or just buffer) is a region of memory used to store data temporarily while it is being moved from one place to another. Typically, the data is stored in a buffer as it is retrieved from an input device (such as a microphone) or just before it is sent to an output device (such as speakers); however, a buffer may be used when data is moved between processes ...

  7. Microcode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcode

    t. e. In processor design, microcode serves as an intermediary layer situated between the central processing unit (CPU) hardware and the programmer-visible instruction set architecture of a computer, also known as its machine code. [1] [page needed] It consists of a set of hardware-level instructions that implement the higher-level machine code ...

  8. Instruction set architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_set_architecture

    t. e. In computer science, an instruction set architecture ( ISA) is an abstract model that generally defines how software controls the CPU in a computer or a family of computers. [1] A device or program that executes instructions described by that ISA, such as a central processing unit (CPU), is called an implementation of that ISA.

  9. Microarchitecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microarchitecture

    In electronics, computer science and computer engineering, microarchitecture, also called computer organization and sometimes abbreviated as μarch or uarch, is the way a given instruction set architecture (ISA) is implemented in a particular processor. [1] A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures; [2] [3 ...
