computer architecture and its relationship with parts of the hardware, firmware, assembler, kernel, operating system and software applications in the field of computer engineering, computer architecture is the concept of planning and structure of the basic operation of a computer system. This computer architecture is a blueprint plan and functional description of requirements designed piece of hardware (the speed of the process and system interconnection). In this case, the implementation plan of each section will be focused primarily, on how the CPU will work, and on how to access data and addresses from and to the cache memory, RAM, ROM, hard discs, etc.). Some examples of the architecture of this computer is a von Neumann architecture, CISC, RISC, Blue Gene, etc. Computer architecture can also be defined and categorized as science and the art of how to interconnect hardware components to be​ ​ able​ ​ to​ ​ create​ ​ a​ ​ computer​ ​ that​ ​ meets​ ​ the​ ​ functional​ ​ needs,​ ​ performance,​ ​ and​ ​ the​ ​ target​ ​ cost. This​ ​ computer​ ​ architecture​ ​ contain​ ​ at​ ​ least​ ​ three​ ​ sub-categories: • ​ ​ The​ ​ instruction​ ​ set​ ​ (ISA) • ​ ​ micro​ ​ architecture​ ​ of​ ​ the​ ​ ISA,​ ​ and • ​ ​ System​ ​ design​ ​ of​ ​ all​ ​ components​ ​ in​ ​ computer​ ​ hardware​ ​ is-ISAInstruction​ ​ Set ISA(English: Instruction Set, or Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)) is defined as an aspect of computer architecture that can be seen by the programmer. In general, this ISA includes data types are supported, the type of instruction used, the type of registers, addressing modes, memory​ ​ architecture,​ ​ interrupt​ ​ handling,​ ​ exception,​ ​ and​ ​ I​ ​ /​ ​ O​ ​ external​ ​ (if​ ​ any). ISA is a specification of the set of all binary codes (opcodes) to be implemented in its original form (native form) in a particular processor design. The opcode set, commonly referred to as machine language (machine language) to the ISA concerned. ISA is popularly used is the Intel chip set of instructions for x86, IA-64, IBM PowerPC, Motorola 68000, Sun SPARC, DEC Alpha, and​ ​ others. ISA is sometimes used to distinguish the collection of the characteristics mentioned above with the processor microarchitecture, which is a set of processor design techniques to implement a set of instructions (include microcode, pipeline, the system cache, power management, and others). Computers with different microarchitecture can share the same instruction set. For example, the Intel Pentium and AMD Athlon processors implement nearly identical versions of the Intel x86 instruction set, but if the terms of its internal design, the difference is radical. This concept can be extended to a unique ISA-ISA as TIMI contained in the IBM System / 38 and IBM IAS / 400. TIMI is an ISA that is implemented as a low-level software that serves as a virtual machine. TIMI designed to increase the lifetime of a platform and applications written for her, allowing the platform to be transferred to the hardware completely different without having to modify the software (except with regard to TIMI). This makes IBM may move the AS / 400

MIPS is becoming a widely used system in computer architecture.This articles gives an illustration on how it is done

The central processing unit (CPU, occasionally central processor unit) is the hardware within a computer system which carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetical, logical, and input/output operations of the system. The term has been in use in the computer industry at least since the early 1960s. The form, design, and implementation of CPUs have changed over the course of their history, but their fundamental operation remains much the same. A computer as shown below performs basically five major operations or functions irrespective of their size and make. These are 1) it accepts data or instructions by way of input, 2) it stores data, 3) it can process data as required by the user, 4) it gives results in the form of output, and 5) it controls all operations inside a computer. We discuss below each of these operations. 1. Input: In computing, an input device is any peripheral (piece of computer hardware equipment) used to provide data and control signals to an information processing system such as a computer or other information appliance. 2. Storage: Storage Devices are the data storage devices that are used in the computers to store the data. The computer has many types of data storage devices. Some of them can be classified as the removable data Storage Devices and the others as the non removable data Storage Devices. The memory is of two types; one is the primary memory and the other one is the secondary memory. The primary memory is the volatile memory and the secondary memory is the non volatile memory. The volatile memory is the kind of the memory that is erasable and the non volatile memory is the one where in the contents cannot be erased. Basically when we talk about the data storage devices it is generally assumed to be the secondary memory.

Computer system architecture, assignments.

This section contains the problem sets assigned for the course. Each of the problem sets is related to a module. Although problem solutions do not have to be handed in (and consequently, are not graded), it is essential that students become thoroughly familiar with the material and therefore are encouraged to work through all problems.

The self-assessment test was handed out during the first lecture and used to assess each student’s preparation for the course. The test was due one week later in the lecture. The handouts were provided to students to assist them in completing the problem sets. Students were expected to study the handouts before solving the problems. Instructors may request the solutions for these assignments by using the MIT OpenCourseWare feedback form.

Scope of  Computer System Architecture

Cloud-based computing, commonly referred to as cloud computing, uses remote servers and networks in place of just a local computer or server to store, administer, and process data and applications. 

• A distributed computing paradigm, Edge computing processes data at the network’s edge, nearer to the data source.
• Quantum computing uses quantum-mechanical phenomena like superposition and entanglement to process information. It can potentially be beneficial because it can tackle issues that are difficult for traditional computers to handle.

Computer Organization and Architecture Notes

What is computer organization and architecture.

Definition: Computer Organization and Architecture is the study of internal working, structuring and implementation of a computer system. Architecture in computer system, same as anywhere else, refers to the externally visual attributes of the system.

Organization of computer system is the way of practical implementation which results in realization of architectural specifications of a computer system.

Architecture of computer system can be considered as a catalog of tools available for any operator using the system, while Organization will be the way the system is structured so that all those cataloged tools can be used, and that in an efficient fashion. ( wikiversity )
