Abstract

The CE Micro Display project is aimed at constructing a functional microprocessor core model for public viewing and showcasing at engineering trade shows. This model will be recognized by experts as a microprocessor core, while appearing as abstract art to the layperson. The design is based on the Harvard architecture and will be composed of distinct "blocks," each representing different sections of the core.

To illustrate the flow of data through the microprocessor, the model will employ LEDs, allowing observers to track the movement of data as it processes through various operations, such as ADD, OR, and NOR. The data flow will be displayed at a rate that is easily observable, ensuring clarity in the representation of data processing.

The finished model will have an approximate footprint of 40”x40”x4”, making it a substantial and impressive exhibit. This project combines art and engineering, providing both aesthetic appeal and educational value.

Our mission is to prepare students to meet the challenges of the modern world as engineering professionals who have the potential to become innovative leaders.
