SAMSUNG GALAXY S9 VS IPHONE X 3
Introduction
Computer architecture are the components that directly impacts program execution or system
attributes that are visible to the programmer while computer organization refers to the functional
components and their relationships that work together to achieve the architectural specifications.
Some of the examples of architectural attributes include I/O mechanisms, number of bits used to
represent different types of data, instruction set, and memory addressing techniques while
examples of organizational attributes include hardware components that the programmer can see
such as memory technology, computer peripherals, and control signals (Hayes, 2012).
A commercial computer system refers to any system, software, or application that has been
designed for commercial purposes. They can be opensource or proprietary systems. In this paper,
the focus will be on two commercial computer systems: Samsung galaxy S9 and iPhone X
system. The two computer systems are mobile phones running on different platforms. Samsung
galaxy s9 runs on android platform while iPhone X runs on IOS.
Mapping Components to the Von Neumann Architecture Building
Blocks
Von Neuman computer system is made up of three main building blocks including the central
processing unit, memory, and the Input output components. The system bus connects these three
components together (Simmons, Coon and Datta, 2018). Registers are the most prominent CPU
items and can be directly manipulated and modified by the programs. The figure below shows
the interconnections between the components of the CPU.

Von Neumann Model Components
The following are the main components of the Neumann Model (Kamiński, 2017):
The memory is used for information storage such as programs or data.
The central processing unit is used for information processing and computations.
Input components refers to various devices that are used to enter data or issue instructions
to the computer such as mouse and keyboard.
Output component are used to give out processed information such as monitors, speakers,
printers.
Control unit ensures that every component is doing what is supposed to be doing at the
right time using the correct procedures.
