Abstract

This chapter contains an outline of structure and functioning of stand-alone internally controlled computer with sequential processor , as well as its functioning in a collection of such machines. The internal control means that program instructions (commands) and data, encoded (commonly nowadays) as sequences of bits, are located in the internal memory (RAM) and are fetched by the processor to its specific register.
