Lecture 2

Input-Process-Output Model ：Input data --> Process -->Output data

1.     Thiswas an essential scheme of the von Neumann model.

2.     Three componentsrequired for this model: Hardware, Software, Data that is being manipulated.

Hardware:

 Central Processing Unit (CPU) 中央处理器：an active part which performscalculations and other operations.

 Main memory (primary storage), or RAM (random access memory)随机存取存储器holds data and programs for access by CPU.

  Secondarystorage二级存储器:--Long-term storage –Holds programsand data –Hard disk硬盘, CD, DVD

 Input devices: keyboard键盘, mouse鼠标,scanner扫描仪…

 Output devices: monitor显示屏, speaker扬声器,printer打印机…

Software:

  Difference: --Hardware (e.g.CPU): can carry out only very simple operations操作 likeadding number, but it runvery quickly.

           --Software: can performuseful tasks, which are combined in the form ofprograms.

Machineinstructions机器指令: are executedin theCPU. Every CPU has its ownfixed instruction set (100-200 instructions). In different CPUs, sets aresimilar, but there is no standard set.

High Level Programming Languages (HLLs)高级程序设计语言:  1. Are more suitable for programming 2. The programsin HLL still have to be translated to the machine codes.

The von Neumann Model冯·诺依曼模型:

      Idea:The computer is a general-purpose machine通用机器 controlled by anexecutableprogram可执行程序

     Context: 1. A program is a list of instructions used to direct指挥 a task.   

2.Both program and dataare held in computer’s memory and both represented by binary codes

       3.Model’s main point:memory isre-writeable.

        4. A processor处理器is an active part of the machine thatexecutes the program instructions.
