7.2 Computer Architecture
  1. Internal Hardware and external components of a computer
    1. Three-Box model
      1. A computer system can be consisting of three boxes:
        1. The processor
          1. Known as the central processing unit (CPU)
          2. Storage
            1. Known as the main memory of just memory
            2. Input and output
              1. Electronics for communication with other devices
            3. The architecture was first proposed in 1945 by John von Neumann. And is still used in the modern PC
            4. Processor
              1. The Brain of the system
                1. Responsible for excecuting programs and supervising the functioning of the other parts of the system
                  1. Probably the most complex element in the system. But is simply just a large finite state machine
                    1. A typical microprocessor contains 100,000,000 or more transistors
                    2. Main memory
                      1. RAM
                        1. ROM
                          1. EEPROM
                            1. Bus
                              1. I/O
                                1. Peripherals
                                  1. I/O Controllers and devices
                                    1. I/O Port
                                      1. Secondary storage
