microCeption

Description

This FREE interactive tool is designed to demystify the inner workings of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) by allowing you to explore a simplified model of a CPU down to its fundamental components. Inspired by educational resources developed by J.D. Carpinelli, our simulator is perfect for students and enthusiasts eager to learn about computer architecture and CPU operation.
