  • the hardware used in the comp utation al machines typical ly consists of some type of ordered matter (e.g., traditional electronic devices (e.g., transistors), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), quantum devices, mechanical switches, optics, fluidics, pneumatics, optical devices (e.g., optical interference devices), molecules, etc.) that are arranged to form logic gates.
  • Logic gates are typically physical devices that may be electrically, mechanically, chemically, or otherwise driven to change physical state in order to create a physical reality of logic, such as Boolean logic.
  • Logic gates may be arranged to form logic circuits, which are typically physical devices that may be electrically, mechanically, chemically, or otherwise driven to create a physical reality of certain logical functions.
  • Types of logic circuits include such devices as multiplexers, registers, arithmetic logic units (ALUs), computer memory, etc., each type of which may be combined to form yet other types of physical devices, such as a central processing unit (CPU)— the best known of which is the microprocessor.

  • a modem microprocessor will often contain more than one hundred million logic gates in its many logic circuits (and often more than a billion transistors). See, e.g., Wikipedia, Logic gates, http://en.wildpedia.org wiki/Logic gates (as of June 5, 2012, 21 :03 GMT).
  • the logic circuits forming the microprocessor are arranged to provide a microarchitecture that will cany out the instructions defined by that microprocessor's defined Instruction Set Architecture
  • the Instruction Set Architecture is the part of the microprocessor architecture related to programming, including the native data types, instructions, registers, addressing modes, memory architecture, interrupt and exception handling, and external Input/Output. See, e.g., Wikipedia, Computer architecture, http://en.wildpedia.org,' ⁇ viki/Computer_architecture (as of June 5, 2012, 21 :03 GMT).
  • the Instruction Set Architecture includes a specification of the machine language that can be used by programmers to use/control the microprocessor. Since the machine language instructions are such that they may be executed directly by the microprocessor, typically they consist of strings of binary digits, or bits. For example, a typical machine language instruction might be many bits long ⁇ e.g., 32, 64, or 128 bit strings are currently common). A typical machine language instruction might take the form
  • the binary number "1" ⁇ e.g., logical "1" in a machine language instruction specifies around +5 volts applied to a specific "wire” ⁇ e.g., metallic traces on a printed circuit board) and the binary number "0" ⁇ e.g., logical "0") in a machine language instruction specifies around -5 volts applied to a specific "wire.”
  • machine language instructions also select out and activate specific groupings of logic gates from the millions of logic gates of the more general machine.
  • Machine language is typically incomprehensible by most humans (e.g., the above example was just ONE instruction, and some personal computers execute more than two billion instructions e en' second). See, e.g., Wikipedia, Instructions per second, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instmctions per second (as of June 5, 2012, 21 :04 GMT). Thus, programs written in machine language - which may be tens of millions of machine language instructions long - are incomprehensible to most humans.
  • assembly languages were developed that used mnemonic codes to refer to machine language instructions, rather than using the machine language instructions' numeric values directly (e.g., for performing a multiplication operation, programmers coded the abbreviation "mult," which represents the binary number "011000 ' ' in MIPS machine code). While assembly languages were initial ly a great aid to humans controlling the microprocessors to perform work, in time the complexity of the work that needed to be done by th e humans outstripped the ability of humans to control the microprocessors using merely assembly languages.
  • a compiler is a device that takes a statement that is more comprehensible to a human than either machine or assembly language, such as "add 2 + 2 and output the result," and translates that human understandable statement into a complicated, tedious, and immense machine language code (e.g., millions of 32, 64, or 128 bit length strings). Compilers thus translate high-level programming language into machine language.
  • This compiled machine language is then used as the technical specification which sequentially constructs and causes the interoperation of many different computational machines such that useful, tangible, and concrete work is done.
  • machine language- the compiled version of the higher-level language- functions as a technical specification which selects out hardware logic gates, specifies voltage levels, voltage transition timings, etc., such that the useful work is accomplished by the hardware.
