    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.
