● What does a CPU do?

v[k] = 10; v[k+1] = 20;

v[k] = 20; v[k+1] = 10;

C Program Binary Code Execution

Compiler Hardware

The Binary Code

● Code for tasks to perform.– Program

● Hardware ‘interprets’ the code– Decode

● Hardware ‘accomplishes the task’– Execute

The Processor

● The processor decodes and executes the binary code

● Where does the code reside?– Before execution? During execution?
