      3 Computer Architecture L2

      5 **Definition:** Control signals are used to create a distinction between data and instructions in memory, but they are both saved together. Additionally, instructions are completed sequentially ie. finish one, fetch the next compute, etc. 
      6 
      7 This is our broad model for computing and computer architecture. Additionally, there is a single bus for memory (I would think having more could cause concurrency issues), a program control unit (control signals), and an arithmetic unit (cpu).

      9 Sequential instruction processing is ensured using a program counter that states what is being processed currently.
