#4151 Symbolic Notation for Computing
#4151 Symbolic Notation for Computing #4151 Develop a symbolic notation to describe the workings of computer hardware and software, the interactions and flow of the operating system and applications along with receipt of outside input and production of outside output To represent the complex dance between silicon, logic, and the outside world, we can use a functional symbolic notation. This system treats the computer as a series of transformations across different layers of abstraction. The Core Symbology Symbol Representation Definition Phi Hardware (Physical) The underlying circuitry, CPU, RAM, and storage. Omega Operating System The kernel and resource manager. alpha Application High-level software/logic. iota Input Signals from the external environment (Keyboard, Sensors, Network). omega Output Signals to the external environment (Display, Actuators, Packets). --> Flow Direction of data/instruction movement. <--> Interrupt/Feedback Bi-directional synchroni...
