Computer Technology and Instructions Concept Map – Section Two

In this week’s interactive assignment, you will continue building your concept map presentation from Week 2 (attached). This week’s section of the concept map is focused on the processor.

In your concept map, explain the principles and techniques used in implementing a processor at an abstract level, including major functional units and the interactions between them. Provide an example of a pipelining approach that compares single-cycle with pipelined performance versus without pipelined performance.

Attach your presentation concept map to your initial post. (If you chose to utilize a web-based presentation software, insert the URL to your presentation in your post.)

In addition to your concept map, address the following in your initial post in the discussion forum.

• Examine basic implementation of a processor that includes a subset of a core instruction set, and provide an overview of implementation.
• Explain the elements of datapaths—their functionalities and interactions—and provide an example for building a simple datapath.
• Explain your chosen pipelining example from your concept map that compares single-cycle with pipelined performance versus without pipelined performance.

Create your initial post for this week’s assignment in the same Word document you created in Week 1, and copy your initial post for this week’s discussion into the discussion forum. Your initial post must be a minimum of 250 words.
