The IAS Computer was built at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton under the direction of John von Neumann. It cost several hundred thousand dollars and was completed in 1952 after beginning construction in 1946. The goal was to make digital computer designs more practical and efficient. It utilized the von Neumann architecture with separate subsystems for the CPU, main memory, and I/O and could store both instructions and data in its 1000 words of memory.

IAS COMPUTER

IAS COMPUTER
The IAS Computer was named for the Institute for
Advanced Study, Princeton.

The machine was built there under the direction of


John von Neumann

It cost several hundred thousand dollars. The goal of


developing the IAS was to make digital computer
designs more practical and efficient.
The project to build it began in 1946 and the
computer was ready for use in 1952.
IAS STRUCTURE
OR
VAN NEUMANN ARCHITECTURE
• Has three basic hardware subsystems: a
CPU, a main memory system and an I/O
system

• Is a stored-program computer

• Carries out instructions sequentially

• Has, or at least appears to have, a single


path between the main memory system
and the control unit of the CPU; this is
often referred to as the von Neumann
bottleneck
Expanded IAS
IAS
• 1000x40 words of storage – both data and instructions
• 2x20 bit instructions
Number word format

Instruction word format


IAS
• The IAS operates by repetitively performing an instruction cycle.
Each instruction cycle consists of Three sub cycles.

• Fetch cycle: the opcode of the next instruction is loaded into the IR
and the address portion is loaded into the MAR. This instruction may
be taken from the IBR, or it can be obtained from memory by loading
a word into the MBR, and then down to the IBR, IR, and MAR.

• Decode Cycle: Instruction is decoded into a language that the ALU can
understand.

• Execute cycle: the control circuitry interprets the opcode and


executes the instruction by sending out the appropriate control
signals to cause data to be moved or an operation to be performed by
the ALU.

• The IAS computer has 21 instructions


The von Neumann Model

These computers
employ a fetch-
decode-execute
cycle to run
programs as
follows . . .
The von Neumann Model

The control unit fetches the next instruction from memory


using the program counter to determine where the
instruction is located.

ADD M(X) ADD M(X)


The von Neumann Model

The instruction is decoded into a language that the ALU


can understand.

decode
The von Neumann Model

Any data operands required to execute the instruction are


fetched from memory and placed into registers within the
CPU.

7
The von Neumann Model

The ALU executes the instruction and places results in


registers or memory.
