Description

The slide presentation describes a simple CPU connected to a memory; the purpose is to show the sequence of addresses issued by the CPU to execute two instructions. The CPU model is as follows:

• 2-address, memory-memory;
• 8-bit datapath;
• 16-bit address;
• no general purpose registers;

The presentation starts with a CPU internal structure that turns out to be unable to execute instructions. Some extra hardware is then added to fix the problem.
