This chapter described how memory stores data, instructions, and information, and discussed the sequence of operations that occur when a computer executes an instruction. The chapter included a comparison of various microprocessors on the market today. | Computer Graphics Lecture 25 Fasih ur Rehman Last Class Shading Today’s Agenda Shading What Shading can do?
