Study Notes
Computer Architecture and Microarchitecture
- Microarchitecture, in the context of computer engineering, refers to the way a computer's internal components are designed and organized to execute instructions.
- Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) encompasses the design of the instruction set, which includes the syntax, semantics, and organization of the instructions that a computer's processor can execute.
- Computer architecture, microarchitecture, and instruction set architecture are related concepts: computer architecture focuses on the overall system design, microarchitecture focuses on the internal design of the processor, and ISA focuses on the instruction set.
Microarchitecture Components
- The microarchitecture of a machine typically includes the design of the processor's registers, pipelines, caches, and execution units.
ISA Implementation Variations
- The implementation of a given ISA can vary in different microarchitectures, including the number of execution units, pipeline depth, and cache hierarchy.
Billiard Congress of America (BCA)
- The BCA is headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado.
- The BCA publishes an annual edition of the Billiards Encyclopedia.
- The main focus of the BCA's annual trade show is the promotion of billiards and pool-related products.
BCA and International Competition
- Carom billiards is not presently the subject of international competition according to the BCA.
BCA Membership
- The voting members of the BCA are mainly composed of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of billiards and pool-related products.
