Hardware Realizations of Algorithms: Computer Systems Design

Computer processors operate at various levels of abstraction going from the digital logic level up to the microarchitecture level and the machine language level.

Practice this chapter

Computer processors operate at various levels of abstraction going from the digital logic level up to the microarchitecture level and the machine language level. The main components of a computer system include the processor, the main memory, the disk, and I/O devices

They just differ as it comes to how powerful each piece is, how many CPUs are there, the size of the memory and disk, and so on The levels from problem definition to assembly language are related to the computer science field.

assembly language — low-level language that is designed to be computer friendly. abstraction — removal of unimportant elements of a program or computer code that distract from its process. microarchitecture — architecture, or design, of the processor or microprocessor. disk — storage mechanism for data.

Worked example

What does “assembly language” mean in Hardware Realizations of Algorithms: Computer Systems Design?

  1. 1Use the wording this chapter gives for assembly language.
  2. 2The book says: low-level language that is designed to be computer friendly.
  3. 3Do not use the meaning of abstraction. That term means removal of unimportant elements of a program or computer code that distract from its process.

Result: low-level language that is designed to be computer friendly

Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for assembly language.

Do not swap assembly language and abstraction. assembly language means low-level language that is designed to be computer friendly. abstraction means removal of unimportant elements of a program or computer code that distract from its process.
