With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

The ability to store and later use information is essential for a variety of adaptive behaviors, including integration, learning, generalization, prediction and inference. In this Review, we survey ...

Design and understanding of the computer system as a whole unit. Performance Evaluation and its role in computer system design; Instruction Set Architecture design, Datapath design and optimizations ...

AVR microcontrollers can do pretty much anything nowadays. Blinking LEDs, handling sensor inputs, engine control modules, and now, thanks to [Dan], a small single chip BASIC computer with only ten ...

Your computer has two basic kinds of memory: hard drive storage and random-access memory, and they perform separate functions. Although adding a second hard drive ...

As Moore's Law has packed more and more transistors onto a single memory chip, scientists have fretted for years that electric charges that "leak" out from those tiny components might cause ...

The beauty of computers lies not just in their incredible processing capabilities, but also in their ability to store a mind-numbing amount of data that can be retrieved instantly and on-demand.
