FETCH-DECODE-EXECUTE Board Game

This game teaches students how instructions and data move from RAM to the CPU and internally between the various registers and the ALU in order to run a simple program (which takes 2 numbers, adds them and stroes the result in memory).

A-Level students have fed back that it really helped them in the exam...

Case Study for Information Security

There does seem to be a shortage of good case studies (fictional or real) that are deailed enough to be useful but not overly-complex for level-3 students. I ended up creating my own case study based on a company I used to work for and similar companies I have worked with. I hope you find it useful.

Fetch, Execute, Decode

This is a Flash animation demonstrating the fetch and execute cycle. The aim is to visually show the interaction between the different parts of the CPU and the movement along buses.

The model is hypothetical, so does not accurately reflect the components of real processors.

It would be most useful...
