The twentieth century was century for inventions, and the field of electronics and computer was at boom. The size of computer drastically reduced to portable size. Lot of automated EDA tools appeared that simplified the design and development efforts of the engineers. Evolution of the re-configurable logic devices, such as PLA, PAL, CPLD, and FPGA, helped the designers to burn the design in programmable chips and get the functionality of the hardware, and allowed to test and verify before the product could be custom designed and mass fabricated. This paper attempts to design an 8-bit processing element that accepts 8-bit data and produce the desired result. The implementation has been done using the Xilinx ISE Web Pack, and simulations are carried out using ISE simulator.

The steps involved in assembling a CPU include designing the ALU, constructing the datapath with registers, implementing a control unit with microprogram, and adding program memory and I/O devices.
Acknowledgement: The "machine" described here is an adaptation of that presented in Introducing Computer Concepts by Simulating a Simple Computer , by Dr. Robert A. Campbell, SIGCSE Bulletin, Vol. 28, No. 3, Sept. 1996, pp. 9-11.
The purpose of this presentation is to illustrate how an electronic digital computer operates at the machine language level of abstraction. The electronic aspects of its operation are not treated.
Components of the hypothetical computer:
- RAM (main/primary memory/storage): Comprised of 4096 (that's 2 12 ) 16-bit memory locations (or "words") with addresses 0, 1, 2, ..., 4095. (A memory location is analogous to a mailbox in a post office or to a cell in an MS-Excel worksheet.)
- Control unit (CU): does the decoding (or interpreting) of instructions, and sends out the electronic signals that cause an instruction to be executed
- Arithmetic/logic unit (ALU): carries out the arithmetic calculations (e.g., adding) and logical calculations (e.g., comparing)
- Accumulator (ACC) (16 bits) (typically) holds data that has just been produced as the result of an instruction or that is about to be operated upon
- Instruction Counter (IC): (12 bits) holds the address of the memory location containing the next instruction to be executed. In effect, the IC is the computer's way of "remembering where it is" within the program being executed. (You should be able to make the connection between the size of this register, 12 bits, and the # of distinct addresses in RAM, 2 12 .) Perhaps a better name for this register would be Instruction Pointer , as its purpose is to hold a value that "points to" the memory cell containing the next instruction.
- Instruction Register (IR) (16 bits) holds the instruction about to be (or being) executed
- keyboard, at which the user can enter integer values
- screen, on which integer values can be displayed
General-purpose digital computers are designed to employ the stored program concept, which is to say that not only data occupies memory, but also the instructions comprising the software that is processing that data. Another way to look at it is that instructions are nothing but another form of data, in addition to numbers, characters, images, etc.
Recall from the Giant Brains videorecording that one interesting weakness of ENIAC was that it was NOT a stored-program computer. That is, a program being executed on the ENIAC was embodied/expressed in terms of its wiring, as opposed to being expressed as a sequence of instructions (encoded by bit strings or characters, or whatever) stored in its memory. As a consequence of this, changing ENIAC's programming required that technicians make physical alterations to its wiring, which could take hours or even days!!
Fetch-Decode-Execute Cycle:
- Fetch next instruction (i.e., copy into the IR the contents of the memory location identified by the IC)
- Increment the IC (i.e., add one to the value in IC)
- Execute the instruction occupying the IR
The purpose of (2) is to make it so that, by default, the instructions will be executed in the same order as they appear in memory. (This is analogous to following a recipe line by line.) Only by executing an instruction that modifies the contents of the IC can this behavior be changed. In order to design programs with loops (instruction sequences that are repeated during execution of a program) we need instructions that do exactly this.
Encoding of instructions
Instruction Set/Repertoire
For example, a word of memory containing
Example program 1: Finding sum of two inputs
In order to illustrate what happens during execution of the program, we show a "snapshot" of the computer's state (which is given by the values in each of its relevant memory locations) at the beginning and end of each iteration of the fetch-decode-execute cycle. In this particular example, we assume that the user supplies inputs 31 and 14. Each remark indicates what actions occur during the corresponding iteration of the cycle. (The change-of-state resulting from such actions can be discerned by examining the contents of IC, ACC, etc. indicated on the next line.)
Example program 2: Countdown
Here is a program that accepts one input from the user and then displays a countdown to zero, beginning with the input value. This program illustrates the concept of a loop, which is a sequence of instructions that gets executed repeatedly.
Here is a history of the computation that would result if the user were to enter 2 as the input value:
Making use of pieces of the two programs presented above, develop a program that, given as inputs two natural numbers (i.e., nonnegative integers), outputs their product.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)CPU [Central Processing Unit]. It is the brain of the computer. It is the part that does most of the work in a computer system. Just like how our brain controls our body and processes information, the CPU carries out instructions from programs and performs calculations. It’s made up of smaller components that work together to execute tasks, making it the heart of any computing device. All types of data processing operations from simple arithmetic to complex tasks and all the important functions of a computer are performed by the CPU. It helps input and output devices to communicate with each other and perform their respective operations. It also stores data which is input, intermediate results in between processing, and instructions. The CPU’s job is to make sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently. In this article, we are going to discuss CPU in detail. What is a CPU?A Central Processing Unit is the most important component of a computer system . A CPU is hardware that performs data input/output, processing, and storage functions for a computer system. A CPU can be installed into a CPU socket. These sockets are generally located on the motherboard . CPU can perform various data processing operations. CPU can store data, instructions, programs, and intermediate results.  History of CPUSince 1823, when Baron Jons Jakob Berzelius discovered silicon, which is still the primary component used in manufacturing CPUs today, the history of the CPU has experienced numerous significant turning points. The first transistor was created by John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley in December 1947. in 1958, the first working integrated circuit was built by Robert Noyce and Jack Kilby. The Intel 4004 was the company’s first microprocessor , which it unveiled in 1971. Ted Hoff’s assistance was needed for this. When Intel released its 8008 CPU in 1972, Intel 8086 in 1976, and Intel 8088 in June 1979, it contributed to yet another win. The Motorola 68000, a 16/32-bit processor, was also released in 1979. The Sun also unveiled the SPARC CPU in 1987. AMD unveiled the AM386 CPU series in March 1991. In January 1999, Intel introduced the Celeron 366 MHZ and 400 MHz processors. AMD back in April 2005 with its first dual-core processor. Intel also introduced the Core 2 Dual processor in 2006. Intel released the first Core i5 desktop processor with four cores in September 2009. In January 2010, Intel released other processors like the Core 2 Quad processor Q9500, the first Core i3 and i5 mobile processors, and the first Core i3 and i5 desktop processors. In June 2017, Intel released Core i9 desktop processor, and Intel introduced its first Core i9 mobile processor In April 2018. Different Parts of CPUNow, the CPU consists of 3 major units, which are: Memory or Storage UnitControl unit. - ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit)
Let us now look at the block diagram of the computer:  Here, in this diagram, the three major components are also shown. So, let us discuss these major components in detail. As the name suggests this unit can store instructions, data, and intermediate results. The memory unit is responsible for transferring information to other units of the computer when needed. It is also known as an internal storage unit or the main memory or the primary storage or Random Access Memory (RAM) as all these are storage devices. Its size affects speed, power, and performance. There are two types of memory in the computer, which are primary memory and secondary memory. Some main functions of memory units are listed below: - Data and instructions are stored in memory units which are required for processing.
- It also stores the intermediate results of any calculation or task when they are in process.
- The final results of processing are stored in the memory units before these results are released to an output device for giving the output to the user.
- All sorts of inputs and outputs are transmitted through the memory unit.
As the name suggests, a control unit controls the operations of all parts of the computer but it does not carry out any data processing operations. Executing already stored instructions, It instructs the computer by using the electrical signals to instruct the computer system. It takes instructions from the memory unit and then decodes the instructions after that it executes those instructions. So, it controls the functioning of the computer. Its main task is to maintain the flow of information across the processor. Some main functions of the control unit are listed below: - Controlling of data and transfer of data and instructions is done by the control unit among other parts of the computer.
- The control unit is responsible for managing all the units of the computer.
- The main task of the control unit is to obtain the instructions or data that is input from the memory unit, interpret them, and then direct the operation of the computer according to that.
- The control unit is responsible for communication with Input and output devices for the transfer of data or results from memory.
- The control unit is not responsible for the processing of data or storing data.
ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) is responsible for performing arithmetic and logical functions or operations. It consists of two subsections, which are: - Arithmetic Section: By arithmetic operations, we mean operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and all these operations and functions are performed by ALU . Also, all the complex operations are done by making repetitive use of the mentioned operations by ALU.
- Logic Section: By Logical operations, we mean operations or functions like selecting, comparing, matching, and merging the data, and all these are performed by ALU.
Note: The CPU may contain more than one ALU and it can be used for maintaining timers that help run the computer system. What Does a CPU Do?The main function of a computer processor is to execute instructions and produce an output. CPU work Fetch, Decode, and Execute are the fundamental functions of the computer. - Fetch: the first CPU gets the instruction. That means binary numbers that are passed from RAM to CPU.
- Decode: When the instruction is entered into the CPU, it needs to decode the instructions. with the help of ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit), the process of decoding begins.
- Execute: After the decode step the instructions are ready to execute.
- Store: After the execute step the instructions are ready to store in the memory.
Types of CPUWe have three different types of CPU: - Single Core CPU: The oldest type of computer CPU is a single-core CPU. These CPUs were used in the 1970s. these CPUs only have a single core that performs different operations. This means that the single-core CPU can only process one operation at a single time. single-core CPU CPU is not suitable for multitasking .
- Dual-Core CPU: Dual-Core CPUs contain a single Integrated Circuit with two cores. Each core has its cache and controller. These controllers and cache work as a single unit. dual-core CPUs can work faster than single-core processors.
- Quad-Core CPU: Quad-Core CPUs contain two dual-core processors present within a single integrated circuit (IC) or chip. A quad-core processor contains a chip with four independent cores. These cores read and execute various instructions provided by the CPU. Quad Core CPU increases the overall speed of programs. Without even boosting the overall clock speed it results in higher performance.
What is CPU Performance?CPU performance is how fast a computer’s processor (CPU) can complete the task. It is measured by the number of instructions completed in one second. Its performance depends on the processor’s clock speed and other factors like its design and the size of its cache. What are Computer Programs and Where are They Stored?A computer program is a set of instructions written by a programmer that tells a computer what to do. For example, Using a web browser or a word processor is a program, Performing math operations on a computer and clicking and selecting items with a mouse or touchpad is also a program. Storage of ProgramsThere are two ways of storing programs on the computer memory: - Permanent Storage: Programs are stored permanently on storage devices like HDD , or SSD .
- Temporary Storage: When a program is running on a CPU, its data is stored in RAM from HDD or SDD. Temporary because RAM is volatile, it loses all data when the power is turned off.
- Versatility : CPU can able to handle a complex task, from basic calculation to managing the operating system.
- Performance : Modern CPU are vary fast and able to perform billions of calculation per second.
- Multi-core : CPU have multiple core and able to handle multiple task simultaneously.
- Compatibility : CPUs are designed to be compatible with a wide range of software, this help to run different applications by using single CPU.
Disadvantages- Overheating : CPU generate a lot of heat while performing complex task. This requires effective cooling solutions, such as fans or liquid cooling systems.
- Power Consumption : High-performance CPUs can consume a vary high amount of power, which cause to generate higher electricity bills and the need for a robust power supply.
- Cost : Best performance CPU can be expensive. Which can be a barrier for some users or applications that need high computing power.
- Limited Parallel Processing : While multi-core CPUs can handle multiple tasks at once, they are still not as efficient at parallel processing as specialized hardware like GPUs ( Graphics Processing Units ), which are designed for handling many tasks simultaneously.
The CPU is the brain of a computer. It carries all the instructions from programs, handling everything from simple calculations to complex tasks. Without the CPU, the computer wouldn’t be able to run programs or perform any actions. Without UPU computer like a dumb maniche. So it is vary important for the overall functioning of a computer. Frequently Asked Questions on Central Processing Unit – FAQsIs a cpu the same as a microprocessor. The terms CPU and microprocessor are frequently used interchangeably, but they are not exactly the same. All CPUs are microprocessors, but converse is not true. What are types of CPU?There are mostly three types of CPU: Single core CPU: This have a single core which is used to processing data. this is the oldest CPU. This performs a single task at a time. Dual Core CPU: This CPU have two core and a single Integrated Circuit. Quad Core CPU: This CPU have two Dual Core and a single Integrated Circuit. What are CPUs made of?CPU is made of silicon. silicon is semiconductor metal. An electrical connections to the pins that create contact with the motherboard. CPU produces lot of heat that’s why an “integrated heat spreader” is also exist to the top. What are different parts of CPU?There are three different parts of CPU: Arithmetic and Logical Unit (ALU): T he Arithmetic and Logical Unit (or ALU) execute arithmetic and logical operations. Control Unit (CU): The control unit communication with input and output devices for the transfer of data from memory. Memory or storage unit: All sorts of inputs and outputs are spread through the memory unit. Please Login to comment...Similar reads. - School Learning
