(and I really mean it!)
What is this?!
Attention over time!

Are Computers Smart?
To a programmer:
Very complex operations / functions:
(map (lambda (x) (* x x)) '(1 2 3 4))
Automatic memory management:
List l = new List;
“Basic” structures:
Integers, floats, characters, plus, minus, print commands Computers are smart!
Computer Organization
What is it?
computer architecture The architecture of a computer is the interface between the machine and the software
computer organization
structural relationships not visible to the programmer
Computer Architecture’s:
Changing Definition 1950s to 1960s: Computer Architecture Course: Computer Arithmetic 1970s to mid 1980s: Computer Architecture Course: Instruction Set Design, especially ISA appropriate for compilers 1990s: Computer Architecture Course: Design of CPU, memory system, I/O system, Multiprocessors, Networks 2000s: Computer Architecture Course: Non Von- Neumann architectures, Reconfiguration, Focused MIPs 2010: Computer Architecture Course: Multi core processor Architecture
Computer Eras: Mainframe 1950s-
60s
“Big Iron”: IBM, UNIVAC, … build $1M computers
for businesses => timesharing OS (Multics)
Processor (CPU) I/O
Minicomputer Eras: 1970s
Using integrated circuits, Digital, HP… build $10k computers
for labs, universities => UNIX OS
PostPC Era: Late 2000s - ??
