Parallel Processing and Multiprocessing ### 6.1 Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) + SIMD allows a single instruction to operate on multiple data points simultaneously. It is commonly used in graphics processing and scientific computations. ### 6.2 Multiple Instruction, Multiple Data (MIMD) + In MIMD systems, different processors execute different instructions on different pieces of data simultaneously. This is used in more complex systems like distributed computing. ### 6.3 Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) + In SMP systems, multiple processors share the same memory and are managed by a single operating system. SMP is commonly used in server environments for high-performance computing. ### 6.4 Distributed Systems + In distributed systems, multiple computers are networked together to share resources and work on tasks collaboratively.

Input/Output Architecture ### 7.1 I/O Ports and Interfaces + I/O ports and interfaces serve as the communication gateways between the CPU and external devices. Examples include USB, PCIe, and SATA. ### 7.2 Direct Memory Access (DMA) + DMA allows peripherals to directly transfer data to or from memory without involving the CPU. This improves system performance by freeing up the CPU for other tasks. ### 7.3 Interrupts and Polling + **Interrupts** allow a device to signal the CPU that it requires attention, allowing efficient I/O operations. **Polling**, on the other hand, involves the CPU regularly checking the status of an I/O device, which can be less efficient. --- @@ -136,15 +166,19 @@ DMA allows peripherals to directly transfer data to or from memory without invol ## 8. Modern Advancements in Architecture ### 8.1 Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) + RISC architecture uses a small, highly optimized set of instructions, allowing for fast execution. It is used in mobile processors like ARM. ### 8.2 Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) + CISC architecture uses a larger, more complex set of instructions. This allows for more efficient use of memory but can slow down processing speed compared to RISC. ### 8.3 Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) in Modern Systems + GPUs are specialized processors designed for parallel processing. They are used not only for rendering graphics but also for tasks such as machine learning and scientific simulations. ### 8.4 Quantum Computing + Quantum computers use quantum bits (qubits) to perform calculations that would be infeasible for classical computers. While still in the experimental stage, quantum computing promises to revolutionize fields such as cryptography and material science. --- @@ -154,4 +188,3 @@ Quantum computers use quantum bits (qubits) to perform calculations that would b In this document, we explored the fundamental aspects of computer system architecture, covering topics from basic CPU design to modern advancements like quantum computing.
