**Concept Map
Using the presentation concept map you created in Weeks 1 to 4 (attached) in the course, add the final component you worked on in Week 5 (attached). Based on the feedback you received on your concept map in the previous weeks, refine your concept map where you identify the basic components of modern computers; describe different categories of instructions, operations, operands, and number representations for a machine instruction set; interpret machine-level arithmetic operations; describe the various memory technologies and the levels of the memory hierarchy; and explain the principles and aspects related to instruction execution.
**The Paper
Utilizing the content of your refined concept map, revise your interactive assignment initial posts from Weeks 1 through 5 (attached) in a Word document as follows:
Review the feedback from your Week 1 interactive assignment, Computer Technology and Instructions. Revise your post based on the feedback from your instructor and peers, adding any refined elements concerning the five classical computer components, performance, and the measure of computer performance. Using credible sources, research and provide an example of a computer system’s instruction set and/or operands.
Review the feedback from your Week 2 interactive assignment, Arithmetic for Computers, in which you interpreted machine-level addition and subtraction operations of the arithmetic and logic unit (ALU) of the computer, multiplication and division operations, and example algorithms to perform these operations. Revise your post based on the feedback from your instructor and/or peers. You also summarized the arithmetic operations using floating-point representation. Revise your summary based on peer and/or instructor feedback
Review the feedback from your Week 3 interactive assignment, The Processor, in which you provided an example of a pipelining approach, examined the basic implementation of a processor, and explained the functionality and interaction of datapaths. Revise your post based on the feedback from your instructor and peers, adding any elements that may enhance your initial post.
Review the work you completed and comments you received in the Week 4 interactive assignment, Exploiting Memory Hierarchy, in which you defined the basics of caches and measuring and improving cache performance and summarized the concepts of dependable memory hierarchy, virtual machines, and virtual memory. Revise your post based on the feedback from your instructor and peers, adding any elements that may enhance your initial post.
Summarize your initial post from the Week 5 interactive assignment where you discussed the goals and principles of computer architecture parallelism; explained the challenges of creating parallel processing programs; and reviewed the concepts of SISD, MIMD, SIMD, and SPMD and Vector processing.
Explain the fundamental concepts that influence computer organization and architecture. Predict how organizations will use these concepts about future computer organization and design.
