Research on a New Computer Architecture

Traditional computer architecture consists of six parts: controller, arithmetic unit, memory, storage, input and output. The memory access speed is fast, but the capacity is small and data is lost when power fails. Any data that is in the storage with large capacity is not lost when computer lose power, but access speed is slow. Therefore, in traditional architecture, both memory and storage is indispensable. At present, with the birth and development of non-volatile random access memory, it provides an important premise that two kinds of memory put into one. Based on this, a new computer architecture based on dual-space memory is proposed. The new architecture is implemented by the shift latch on the hardware, so the data in terabyte storage space can be random accessed. In this paper, the working principle of this new architecture is described in detail. Finally, the advantages of the new computer architecture compared with the traditional are pointed out.
