The bust system with the provided specifications is divided into an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and control unit, a method of organization that persists to the present. Within the processor, the ALU datapath mediates data transfer for computation. The registers are fast memory modules from/to which data can be read/written to support streaming computation, as shown in Figure 1.8. Within the ALU, an accumulator supports efficient addition or incrementation of values corresponding to variables such as loop indices.
