MARIE: Intro

What is MARIE?

MARIE stands for Machine Architecture that is Really Intuitive and Easy.

It was developed by the computer scientist Linda Null as a simplified computer architecture for educational purposes.

The goal of MARIE is to provide an easy-to-understand model of a computer's inner workings, making it ideal for learning about basic computer architecture.

MARIE consists of basic components, registers, and a simple instruction set that illustrate how a computer processes instructions.

This model is widely used in computer science education to introduce students to core concepts in CPU design and instruction execution. This topic's purpose is to show how MARIE works!
