Study Notes
Computer Organization and Architecture
-
The primary concern of computer organization is the operational units and their interconnections within a computer system, focusing on how hardware components combine to execute instructions.
-
Computer architecture acts as an interface between software and hardware, ensuring efficient communication and functionality between the two layers.
Aspects of Computer Systems
-
Computer architecture primarily deals with the logical structure and functional behavior of a computer system, defining the system's capabilities and performance characteristics.
-
Computer organization provides detailed information about the physical implementation of the architecture, including data paths, control signals, memory hierarchies, and hardware components.
Design and Building of Computers
- The first step necessary while designing and building a computer is to establish clear design requirements, balancing performance, cost, and power consumption to meet intended goals.
