A computer is, at its core, just a bunch of transistors wired together. Once you have enough transistors on a board, though, one of the first layers of abstraction that arises is the Arithmetic Logic ...

ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) is the fundamental unit of a microprocessor which performs all the basic operations based on the control input selection. There are separate units which work independent of ...

In this paper VHDL implementation of 8-bit Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is presented. The design was implemented using VHDL Xilinx Synthesis tool ISE 13.1 and targeted for Spartan device. ALU was ...

Arithmetic Logic Units are combinations of digital logic gates that performs arithmetic and logical operations on binary numbers. For this project, an 8-bit ALU was made entirely of NAND gates only. A ...

An elementary electronic circuit in the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) of the CPU that adds one bit to another. The output of the half-adder is a result of 0 or 1 and a carry of 0 or 1. Additional ...

There’s much truth in the advice that, to truly understand something, you need to build it yourself from the ground up. That’s the idea behind [Christian]’s entry for the Re-engineering Education ...

Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the heart and brain of every computer. Every single operation that you do with your computer is processed in CPU. The performance of your computer is based on its ...

The term "Bit Slicing" was once dominant in history books as a technique for constructing a processor from processor modules of smaller bit width where each of these components processes one field or ...

The central processing unit (CPU) is either a dedicated integrated circuit (IC) or intellectual property (IP) core on an IC that processes logic and math. A CPU can handle high-level provisioning of ...
