How computers work - from transistors to CPU - Simulation videos added -
These videos explain how computers work from scratch. Starting from the basics we build every component step by step. Simulation circuit available. You can run your own simulation.

LOAD and STORE instructions SIMULATION.
In CircuitVerse simulator we see how LOAD and STORE instructions work in Scott's CPU. You can run your own simulation.
In Scott’s CPU, as in many other kind of CPUs, the ALU operates only with registers so we need some kind of instructions to get data from the RAM and to store data into the RAM.

😂😂 I have the playlist for you how computers really work - Building Scott's CPU, a 8 bit CPU perfect for educational purpose.

Actually this was really good - a tour from one transistor to a small CPU (Scott CPU, to be precise).

I also haven't yet come across the "But How Do It Know" by Scott, which this is based on, and which looks great:

Turns out this is a whole deeper rabbit hole of people who've also built + simulated it in code, e.g.:
djharper.dev/post/2019/05/21…
Now I must resist the temptation to simulate Scott CPU in C, add tensor cores to it, move it to an FPGA and get it to inference a Llama.
How CPU runs logic and mathematical operation? how the ALU instruction are fetched decoded and executed?

Learn how cpu works before learning program language

In this video we start to see the instrcution set of the Scott's CPU. In particular the ALU instruction. We have built a specific circuit in CirctuitVerse simulator to see every signal in detail.

Yeah, here an other way to view the only thing CPU does: fetch – decode – execute cycle. We use the Scott’s CPU. A 8 bit CPU perfect for education purpose.

I agree with you. I am using it to simulate Scott's CPU. I am currently releasing some videos about it. teapawt.net/CompAndElectro/status/…
Fetch Simulation – Scott’s CPU - CircuitVerse SIM
This video shows the CircuitVerse simulation of the fetch operation in the Scott’s CPU. We see how the instructions are fetched in the IR and how the IAR is updated to point to the next instruction.

This is very nice. Thanks for sharing. I am currently Building a simulator for Scott's CPU. Here the complete playlist.

Right! if you wonder how a computer thinks just see this playlist about how computers really work and you'll realize it is just a different thing teapawt.net/karpathy/status/181889…
