Computer System Organization

What is Computer System

Organization?
A digital computer consists of
an interconnected system of
processors, memories, and
input/output devices.
 PROCESSORS

The organization of a simple bus-

oriented computer is shown in the
picture. The CPU (Central Processing
Unit) is the "brain" of the computer.
The types of system buses are:

1. Data
These are the pieces of information that
are to be transferred.

2. Address
It stores information about where the
data is to be transferred.
3. Control
These are the set of instructions
regarding what to do with the data.
Internal Bus

It is also known as an internal data

bus, a memory bus, a system bus or
Front-Side-Bus.

External Bus

It is also known as an expansion bus.

Knowing what's inside and how it
works will help you design, develop,
and implement applications better,
faster, cheaper, more efficient, and
easier to use because you will be able
to make informed decisions instead of
guestimating and assuming.
