Introduction
n Hardware consists of a few simple building blocks
Ø These are called logic gates
n AND, OR, NOT, …
n NAND, NOR, XOR, …
n Logic gates are built using transistors
n NOT gate can be implemented by a single transistor
n AND gate requires 3 transistors
n Transistors are the fundamental devices
n Pentium consists of 3 million transistors
n Compaq Alpha consists of 9 million transistors
n Now we can build chips with more than 100 million transistors
