Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Take the 2017 PBS Digital Studios Survey: Today we-re going to build the ticking heart of every computer - the Central Processing Unit or CPU. The CPU-s job is to execute the programs we know and love - you know like GTA V, Slack. and Power Point. To make our CPU we-ll bring in our ALU and RAM we made in the previous two episodes and then with the help of Carrie Anne-s wonderful dictation (slowly) step through some clock cycles. WARNING: this is probably the most complicated episode in this series, we watched this a few times over ourselves, but don't worry at about. 03Hz we think you can keep up

I had Computer Architecture 1 last semester where we had to know how a single cycle, multi cycle and pipelined MIPS would work BY HEART (my favourite questions were the ones where they gave us the value of the control signals and we had to figure out what operation was being made and in which phase (if it wasn't single cycle) we were in)
the way you've made such a complex thing so simple is truly beautiful

Almost skipped this episode, but decided to rewatch 100 times. Pretty cool stuff. Been using computers since I can remember and it's awesome knowing the inner workings of a CPU or RAM chip. Pretty sure I know what a ROM chip does now. Thank you Carry One, I mean Carrie Ann and the PBS team for making this happen. :)

I hope you will respond since 3 years passed since this video's launch. but in this video the CPU goes to the RAM by order, from the first cell to the next one. Is this just in this video, but the CPU can access any of the RAM's cells? If not, where does the randomness come i n place? Thanks

Dear Carrie Anne,
thanks you very much for the whole series! Could you please suggest me literatures/ reference material for this episode?
Thanks and best regards

Great Series for any computer science enthusiast. The lady is so clear in concepts and explaining stuff. The series is for all the age groups. Thanks for such a smooth explanation.

This is so great, the levels of abstraction are my fav!
Clearly presented for someone who has not had prior experience of the field.
Tops!

That's an amazing amount of information density you could get for this topic! Thanks for your time and efforts, totally loved it.

when we have completed the instruction and we turn all the wires off (4: 10, how does -1- stay in a gated latch for being fed back?

Don't give up, guys. According to what she said at the beginning of the video, there is no harder class on the whole series.
