Ok. I think I understand but I will definitely refer to the book you mentioned for more information.

Ok both those explanations make sense; so thank you. But, how is it that the same set of logic gates on a computer chip can compute any calculation that a universal computer can compute for the most part? Are the logic gates set up in a grid and certain ones activated after each clock switch?

Hi, I've looked everywhere for an explanation of this, including this forum, and none of them seem to satisfy the level of detail I am looking for. More specifically, I am interested in how processing units used a fixed setup of logic gates and transistors to perform universal computation...

Hi, I'm a graduating senior in high school in NY. I'm going to be attending a mostly liberal arts college in NH next year; but I will most likely major in one type of engineering. My engineering interests include AI, cloud computing, semiconductors, energy storage systems (ultracapacitors...
