Computer Architecture and the Fetch-Execute Cycle

A. show understanding of the basic Von Neumann model for a computer system and the stored program concept (program instructions and data are stored in main memory and instructions are fetched and executed one after another)

• • Overview of Computer Architecture

  • Instruction Execution Cycle

B. describe the stages of the fetch-execute cycle

• • Fetch-Execute Cycle simplified

  • Fetch-Execute Cycle presentation

  • The Processor and the fetch-execute cycle

  • The little man computer simulator (software download)

  • CPU – OS simulator (software download)
