UNIT 1 - EIGHT GREAT IDEAS

1. LET US EXPLORE CAO

2. EIGHT GREAT IDEAS OF COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE Design for Moore’s Law Use Abstraction to Simplify the Design Make the Common case Fast Performance via Parallelism Performance via Pipelining Performance via Prediction Hierarchy of Memories Dependability via Redundancy

3. 1. Design for Moore's law SSI MSI LSI VLSI ULSI GLSI In 1965, Gordon E. Moore—co-founder of   Intel (NASDAQ: INTC )—postulated that the number of transistors that can be packed into a given unit of space will double about every two years.

4. 2 . Use abstraction to simplify the design

5. 3 . Make the common case fast

6. 4 . Performance via parallelism

7. 5. Performance via pipelining

8. 6. Performance via prediction

9. 7 . Hierarchy of memories

10. 8. Dependability via redundancy
