1.1 systems architecture

1. Processor

   • 'Brains of the compute system'
     • Carries out 'instructions' and 'excecutes them'
       • Clock speed meaued in hertz
         • It processes data

2. Embedded system

   • Computer system that is made up of hardware and software
     • Usally for

3. Instructions

   • What the computer has to do, these get processed by a core

4. MHz

   • GHz
     • Hertz
       • Processer speed measured in hertz
     • 1GHz processer excecutes 1 billion instructions per second

5. Cache

   • This memory provides fast access to frequently used instructions and data without having to go to the main memory(RAM)

6. Core

   • Each processer has a core in which instructions are excecuted
     • Dual Core
       • Quad core
         • 8 Core
           • Process instructions independently

7. Clock speed

8. Excecute

9. Registers

   • Program Counter
