Ask on an architecture-related forum; this newsgroup is strictly about

Also, is your homework part of Ph.D. research in electronics
engineering, or are you in fourth grade looking for the most basic
explanation of computer organization?

What's a "good" computer? Consider a finite state machine which is a

In this universe, one way to fabricate a "great computer" (but still

dollars, (with clients who have budgets in the tens of billions!) and
build this:
