Study Notes
Computer Architecture & Organization
- Computer architecture focuses on the attributes of a computer that are visible to the programmer
- The instruction set, number of bits in data representation, Input/Output (I/O) mechanisms, and addressing techniques are key aspects of computer architecture
- The organization involves the implementation of features such as control signals, interfaces, and memory technology
- Examples include whether there is a multiply instruction or if repeated addition is used for multiplication
- The way features are implemented, like multiplication, is an aspect of computer organization
