The little man computer is a model designed to assist in the understanding of the fetch/execute cycle, through the visualization of elements of the computer architecture that would normally remain hidden.
We hope that by using this tool, you will be able to form a better understanding of the five basic components of a processor and the ways in which they interact, as each instruction is carried out.
This is augmented by the capability to get the little man to 'test' you to see if you have learned the paths that he takes on his day to day routine. By visualizing the components, and their interactions, we hope that you can gain a fuller understanding of the fetch/execute cycle.
