Initial idea 2 : Computer architecture

 Computer architecture 


Computer architecture is the organization of the components which make up a computer system and the meaning of the operations which guide its function.

Computer Architecture can be divided into mainly three categories, which are as follows −

·        Instruction set Architecture or ISA − Whenever an instruction is given to the processor, its role is to read and act accordingly. It allocates memory to instructions and also acts upon memory address mode (Direct Addressing mode or Indirect Addressing mode).

·        Micro Architecture − It describes how a particular processor will handle and implement instructions from ISA.

·        System design − It includes the other entire hardware component within the system such as virtualization and multiprocessing.
