Create the Boolean expression for a simple logic circuit. Create a logic circuit from a simple Booleanexpression. Explain what is meant by: • system software • application software. Give examples of both types of software. Understand the need for, and functions of, operating systems (OS) and utility programs. Understand that the OS handles management of the: • processor(s) • memory • input/output (I/O) devices • applications • security. Know that there are different levels of programming language: • low-level language • high-level language. Explain the main differences between low-level and high-level languages. Know that machine code and assembly language are considered to be low-level languages and explain the differences between them. Understand that all programming code written in high-level or assembly languages must be translated. Understand that machine code is expressed in binary and is specific to a processor or family of processors. Understand the advantages and disadvantages of low-level language programming compared with high-level language programming. Understand that there are three common types of program translator: • interpreter • compiler • assembler. Explain the main differences between these three types of translator. Understand when it would be appropriate to use each type of translator. Explain the role and operation of main memory and the following major components of a central processing unit (CPU) within the Von Neumann architecture: • arithmetic logic unit • control unit • clock • register • bus.
