A Closer Look at the Processor and Primary Storage
We have learned that computers have similar capabilities and perforn essentially the same functions, although some might be faster than others.We have also learned processor is the “intelligence”of a computer system;and that a single computer system may have several processors.We have discussec how data are represented inside a computer system in electronic states called bits.We are now ready to expose the inner workings of the mucleus of the computer system---the processor.
零距离接触处理器和内存
我们知道，当执行相同的指令时，所有所有的计算机都具有相同的功能，虽然有一些要比另外的速度要快，我们也知道计算机系统包括输入，输出，存贮和中央处理器，中央处理器是计算机系统的大脑;一个计算机系统可以有若干个处理器。我们讨论过数据怎样在计算机内部表示成电子状态所谓的位。我们将揭开计算机系统的核心――中央处理的工作原理。
计算机的内部操作是有趣, 但它却没有什么真正的奥秘。奥秘存在于那些听信小道消息和相信科幻小说作家的那些人的大脑里。计算机是一种必须将插头插进电源插座里的电子设备，就像烤箱和电灯。(未完待续）
