Abstract
This is the chapter you’ve been waiting for, what we’ve been building towards. We can finally construct a major part of a computer! We started with the instructions covered in the Encoding Code chapter and proceeded to learn about datapath components such as registers, MUX’s, and decoders. Last chapter discussed datapaths for generic algorithms. Now we can begin to put those components together into a system capable of processing instructions.
