Little Man Computer in Excel

(1)
<p>Aimed at students wishing to understand simple computer processes and programming.<br /> The Excel workbook works on Windows and Mac platforms, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.<br /> The workbook is accompanied by a PDF support document which is recommended reading.<br /> The workbook contains some example programs in programming.<br /> Mac users will need to be patient; it does work, but very slowly. This may be advantageous during the running of programs as it gives students a better chance to see what’s happening,<br /> Tutors should read the PDF before issuing this workbook to students; this version contains information that should be secured before general use.<br /> LMC7 is similar in function to previous versions and uses a Windows Compiled HTML file (.chm) in preference to a separate portable document file (.pdf) for its help. It also includes a new Office ribbon toolbar which can be used to supplement the form. Read the LMC7-readme.txt file for instructions on how to use the .chm file. All files should reside in the same folder.</p>

<p>The aim is to show there is more to computing than just programming. Some of the ideas demonstrated are to make users more aware of some of the processes that go on within a modern computer, and how and why some of the older methods of programming are no longer valid. An enhanced instruction set has been included to demonstrate new concepts.<br /> This workbook builds on the concepts first demonstrated in the Earlier Little Man Computer model and should be used prior to introducing more advanced concepts that this workbook demonstrates.</p> <p>New concepts that this model can demonstrate are: -<br /> • Assembler directives to handle program, heap, and stack space<br /> • Subroutines<br /> • Stacks and Heaps<br /> • Multi-tasking<br /> • Instances<br /> • Debugging<br /> • Memory management<br /> • Resource management</p> <p>This resource is a follow-on from the Little Man computer showing more advanced techniques, but allowing the same LMC programs to run.</p>
