Computer Organization And Architecture -
The actual bricks, cement, and electrical wiring used to build it. 🛠️ 2. Core Components of Computer Architecture
Focuses on rich, complex instructions that can perform multi-step operations in a single command, prioritizing smaller code sizes (e.g., x86). COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE
Dictates how numbers, characters, and logical values are encoded as binary digits within the hardware. Predominant Design Philosophies: The actual bricks, cement, and electrical wiring used
The critical interface between software and hardware. It defines the native commands (like ADD , MOVE , or JUMP ) that the processor can understand and execute. Dictates how numbers, characters, and logical values are
Computer architecture defines the attributes of a system that are visible to a programmer and have a direct impact on the logical execution of a program.
Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), data types, and addressing modes. Control signals, memory technology, and bus structures. The architectural blueprint of a house.
