Download and print before class to save a

lot of verbatim note-taking


Instructions on website under Frequently

Asked Questions (FAQ)

12

Non-programming assignments
Turn them in on their due date at the start of

class on paper
Collaboration is strongly encouraged, but
each person must understand what he turns in

13

Programming Assignments
Start early.never wait until night before

Hard to predict how long it will take

Usually takes more than one sitting

Need time to think and discuss

Unanticipated events will occur

14

Programming assignments
Do them in any campus computer lab, or

on your own computer


SPIM simulator is installed on campus

machines
Download it onto your own machine as

explained on page xvii of the textbook


15

Programming Assignments
Comp Sci dept has two computing labs,
SN 019 and SN 030, not sure yet what
their status is for Comp 120

16

Programming assignments

Download copy of grading sheet from webpage


Turn in grading sheet, your listing, printout of
results if applicable, all stapled together.
Include an honor code pledge in the comments of
the listing.remember to sign it.
Turn the package in at the start of class.
17

Programming assignments
I emphasize:
Clarity -- must be understandable to human
Simplicity -- no payoff for being cute
Computer efficiency rarely important
Program short length rarely important
18

Prog Assignments -- Collaboration


Collaboration OK, even encouraged
discuss and understand assignments
discuss techniques and concepts
but...

19

Prog assignments -- collaboration


Each student must independently

Devise his problem solution

Enter his own program

Debug and run his own program

Understand his own program


More description on course handout
20

Keep your returned materials

The assignments build on each other.


We record about many grades, so we
do make mistakes
If you think we erred, your information is the
proof
Keep everything until you get your final grade
21

Comp 120 is the most important course


you will ever take ..

22

Principles endure
Details change to increase speed and capacity
My personal story

23

Assignment for Tues, Jan 17


Read course handout
Read P&H Chapter 1
Do exercises 1.1 through 1.44

(dont panic, theyre just match the

definition things)

24

Ready for first substance?

25

What is computer?
Any ideas?

26

Computer: electronic machine that

Stores numeric data


Does logical and arithmetic operations
on the data
Receives data from user
Presents data to user
Obediently follows your program
27

A computer has..
Four basic parts

Computer Memory

Magnetic Memory Devices (disks)

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Input-Output (I/O) devices

28

H&P list 5 functional parts

Data path
Control
Part of the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Memory
Input devices
Output devices
29

5 Classic Computer Components

30

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Decodes and executes machine language


instructions
Fetches instructions and data from memory
Calculates results and returns them to memory
Datapath: the circuits where the data flow
Control: hardware that decodes instructions and
controls the data flow, like a traffic cop.
31

Principle of Abstraction

Hardware and software have hierarchical layers


Lower layers hide details from higher ones
The user or programmer doesnt have to know the
lower level details to use the system
Driving a car is a good analogy
But analogy fails when you need performance
Implementation: how the details are constructed
32

Three levels of language


High Level Language (e.g., Java)

change = cash - cost - tax;


Assembler Language

mov cash, temp

sub cost, temp

sub tax, temp

mov temp, change


33

Three levels of language


Machine Language

10100101 1011010, 1010010

10010101 1101101, 1110101

10010101 1101001, 1110101

11101101 1101100, 1101101


All three levels do the same thing
High level is best for a person
34

Instruction Set Architecture


Design the hardware to execute the machine

language exactly
ISA is the interface between the machine

language and the hardware

35

Instruction Set Architecture


Good News: different implementations of

hardware are possible with no change

in software
Bad News: Sacrifice speed enhancements

that would be possible by changing the

software.

36

Instruction Set Architecture


Big Messages:
Hardware and software are related -- you

need to design them simultaneously

if you want maximal performance.


Sacrifice some performance or increase

complexity (cost) to keep software

constant (e.g., Family of 360 machines)


37

Three levels of language


High Level Language (e.g., Java)

change = cash - cost - tax;


This one statement has:

three operands

two operators
38

Three levels of language


Assembler Language

mov cash, temp

sub cost, temp

sub tax, temp

mov temp, change


One operator, two operands per statement
