A Computational Machine


What capabilities should a computing machine have ?
Well..any computational problem involves two primary
elements:
 Data (numbers, text strings, or images, ...) used for input,
manipulation and output
 Instructions (that describes the operations (e.g. arithmetic
or comparison) that must be performed on data pertinent
to the problem being solved
 Von Neumann – provided the insight that both data and
instructions could be stored together in the computer

A Computational Machine

Thus, the machine must have the following capabilities:
 Representation & Storage (of both Data, and the
Instructions that defines operations on data, why?)
 Data Processing (interpret Instructions and carry out
operations defined by these instructions on Data)
 Data input and Data output (I/O) (why?)
 Data Communication (optional, if the machine is
connected to other similar machines – via a network)

Computer Capabilities

A transistor can be set to either on (1) or off (0) by controlling the
direction of the electric current passing through it

Hundreds of Millions of transistors can be packed into a small
‘compact’ unit called the integrated circuit (IC) (a.k.a chips)
0 Volts
=
0 is stored
5 Volts

1 is stored

Computer Capabilities
“Information in the Computer is bits + context”

Both data and instructions are encoded in the computer using
Bits (Binary digits)

Think of a Bit as a code that can be either equal to 0 or 1

Encoding means that for each data value or algorithm instruction
you use a code consisting of one or more bits to represent it.
 For example, Street Traffic lights is a form of encoding for instructions to
motorists (red = ‘stop’, yellow = ‘slow down’, green = ‘go’)

In computers bits are grouped together in 8-bit chunks called
Bytes (e.g. 00101010, 11111111, and 00000000)

Computer Capabilities
Representation
the encoding data using bits, and the
encoding instructions using bits
Storage
storing bits used to encode data and
instructions
Data Processing
for each instruction:
1) Interpreting the bits of the instruction, and
2) doing the operation specified in the
instruction on the bits of the data specified
in the instruction

Computer Capabilities
Data Input
converting data transferred into the machine
(say through a keyboard or mouse) into bits
(and storing these bits)
Data Output
converting bits of data into appropriate format
for transfer outside the machine (e.g. to the
screen)
Data Communication Transfer bits of data from one computer to
another

Computer Capabilities

What are some of the different types of data that may be
encountered?
 Text (sequences of characters used to represent names,
descriptions, etc.)
 Numeric (to represent different quantities, e.g. age, length,
height, amount of money, growth rates)
 Image (to represent photographic or synthesized pictures)
 Audio (to represent audio signals of humans and otherwise)
 Video (to represent video signals)

Computer Capabilities

What are some of the different types of instructions that may be
used on this data?
 Text (extracting characters, Concatenating characters
together, comparing characters)
 Numeric (arithmetic +, -, *, , comparison among other
operations)
 Audio (manipulate pitch, volume, high or low frequencies in an
audio signal)
 Image (manipulate pixels properties, e.g. color)

Data Representation & Storage
Representation by encoding works as follows:

First you have a value set; a fixed set of values you want to
encode (data values likes numbers, characters, instructions
to motorists,etc.).

You have a symbol set; a fixed set of symbols to use in
constructing codes for these values (for computers this is
generally the symbols {0,1}).

Using combinations of the symbols found in the symbol set
you construct a unique code corresponding to each value in
the value set.

Numeric Representation
What does 943 mean?
 As a decimal number

9 * 102 = 9 * 100
+ 4 * 101 = 4 * 10
+ 3 * 100 = 3 * 1
= 900
= 40
= 3
943
called positional notation
here represented in base 10
5/24/2017
CS 112 – Foundations of Computer Science
14
Binary Representation

Generally speaking binary representation
(base 2) of integers will use the symbols
0 & 1 in a positional representation where
positions represent powers of 2.
24 23 22 21 20 or 16 8 4 2 1
thus 11001 = 16 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 25

15
Binary Representation

Represent the decimal number 125 in binary

The standard algorithm
(1) Start with your number, here 125, in base 10
(2) Divide the number (125) by 2 and record the remainder
125 / 2 has a quotient of 62 and a remainder of 1
(3) If the quotient = 0 stop,
else
Go to step 2 and repeat using the quotient as the
number
(4) Record the remainders recorded from right to left

Among other things this leads to two zeros
0 0000000 = +0 and 1 0000000 = -0
that aren't really different numbers.
Try instead something called 2’s complement

2’s Complement
 Take the 1’s complement and add 1
5 -> 0101
1’s comp -> 1010
add 1
1
1011 -> -5
 Now go the other way
-5 -> 1011
1’s comp -> 0100
add 1
1
0101 -> 5
Thus the 2’s complement of a 2’s complement is the
original number (same is true for the negative)

So is there any concern?
Yes – no matter how many bits you use there is some
maximum and some minimum number that can be
represented.
For four bits those are +7 and -8 respectively.
5 + 6 = 11 and -6 + (-4) = -10 are beyond a 4-bit rep.
