How the
Central Processing Unit of a computer works A brilliant
demonstration of how the heart of a computer works. CPU Simulator is an
animated colour simulation of the Central Processing Unit.
It shows in
detail how each part of the 'Fetch-Execute' cycle works. Load or enter programs
written in simplified machine code language. Then watch how the CPU fetches
instruction codes, interprets them, fetches additional data if necessary and
performs calculations or other operations.
Very extensive pictorial Help facility covering:
The features of the program
What a CPU is
A brief history of microcomputing
A separate program entry screen, with its own dictionary of
mnemonics.
Icons for all the common operations.
On-screen explanation of what the icons mean!
Variable speed control when animating the display.
