Most of the features in a microprocessor system or microcomputer are also found in mainframe and minicomputers. The basic architecture, as it is called, is essentially the same whatever size of computer is being considered. An understanding of this architecture and of the basic operating processes within a computer are prerequisite to programming an MPU. Newcomers to computing may well find the principles easier to understand by means of an analogy. The following description, therefore, is of an allegorical computer for which the processes are described in human terms.
