The structure of the CPU (the 2nd component in the computer system)
Logical structure of the CPU of a computer system
We will examine the different components and their functions....
Logical structure of the CPU of a computer system
General Purpose Registers:
The ARM CPU that we study has registers that have 32 bits
A CPU typically has about 10 general purpose registers

The Arithmetic & Logic Unit (ALU):
In CS355, students will build a simple ALU circuit built using a digital simulator:

Some special purpose registers:
Logical structure of the CPU of a computer system
Every CPU will have these 3 special purpose registers:
(We will learn how the CPU uses the special purpose registers later)
