What is xComputer?

xComputer

xComputer is designed to give you a clear look at how computers work. It shows us the fetch-and-execute cycle, which is super important for running machine language instructions that are stored in a computer's memory. So, if you've ever wondered how your favorite device does its magic, xComputer can help!

What Makes xComputer Tick?

This cool tool is built with Java, which makes it easy to follow along and see what's happening under the hood. At its core, xComputer has a Central Processing Unit (CPU) and main memory that can hold up to 1024 sixteen-bit binary numbers. That’s quite a bit of data packed in there!

The Brain Behind the Operations

The CPU is where all the action happens! Inside, it has an Arithmetic-Logic Unit (ALU) that handles basic math and logic tasks. This means it can add, subtract, and make logical decisions—all essential functions for any computer.

Registers and Control Circuits

xComputer also features eight registers. These little guys store binary numbers that the CPU uses while crunching data. Plus, there's a control circuit that keeps an eye on everything the CPU does to ensure it's all running smoothly.

The Heartbeat of xComputer

Now let’s not forget about the clock! It’s like the heartbeat of xComputer, turning its output wire on and off to keep everything in sync. Without this timing mechanism, our computer wouldn’t function properly.
