About the Course

This course includes the study of the evolution


of computer architecture and the factors
influencing the design of hardware and
software elements of computer systems. The
focus is on the understanding of the design
issues specifically the instruction set QUESTION:
architecture and hardware architecture.

How do computers
work?
COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE
Computer architecture is concerned with the structure and behavior of the
computer as seen by the user. It includes the information formats, the
instruction set, and techniques for addressing memory.

COMPUTER ORGANIZATION
Computer organization is concerned with the way the hardware
components operate and the way they are connected together to form the
computer system.

COMPUTER DESIGN
Computer design is concerned with the hardware design of the computer.
Computer design is concerned with the determination of what hardware
should be used and how the parts should be connected
