Computer Architecture for Everybody (CC4E)

Hello and welcome to my site where you learn computer architecture chip design.

1: Origins of Computing

We look at humans and their relationship with Technology since Stonehenge through the advent of early electronic and electromechanical computers.

2: Innovating with Transistors

We look how the invention of the transistor changed everything.

3: Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI)

We learn how dramatic improvements in manufacture and miniturization of tansistors through very large scale integration (VLSI) created the high densite chips we still use today.

4: Digital Logic

We move from the electrical aspects of computing to the more abstract logical domain.

5: Clocked Circuits

We examine circuits where operations happen under control of a clock that orchestrates the various aspects of a central processing unit.

6: CPU Design and Machine Code

Machine code - CDC 6504.

7: Web Assembly

In the future, browser support for WEB Assembly means that for a lot of in browser applications, hardware is an emulator.
