Computer Organization and Architecture (COA)
Introduction to Computer Organization and Architecture (COA)
In this course we are going to learn about computer organization and architecture
that is coa in a very detailed manner. In order to devise such a machine first we
need to determine the structure then organizing the available resources. Computer
architecture deals with the functional behavior of computer systems and it is also
about the design implementation for various parts of computer. The entire course
can be subdivided into six major sections. The syllabus that we are going to follow
is as follows first we will begin with the basics of computer architecture also we
will learn about the various classifications of it. We will learn how the memory
devices are connected to the processor also the way the intercommunication takes
place. College and university students are going to get benefited due to the
detailed explanations of each and every aspect of coa. Any aspirant willing to
compete in any competitive exams will be able to understand many numerical problems
along with the most apt illustration of the theory involved in them. Any computer
science admirer who just wants a quick detailed recall can refer to the lectures so
that was all for this lecture.
Basics of Computer Architecture
Computer architecture is basically the design of computers including their
instructions its hardware components and system organization. It has got two parts
first the instruction set architecture and the hardware system architecture which
deals with the computer 's major hardware subsystems. It includes both the logical
design and the data flow organization of the subsystems and hence determines their
efficiency. The architecture does n't really define an implementation yet they both
influence one another. John von neumann was considered as the father of computer
science and artificial intelligence. He was a child prodigy who could divide an
eight-digit number by just a fraction of second when he was just about 6 years old.
He grabbed the full-time professor position at Princeton university by the age
probably 30.
Classifications of Computer Architecture
Computer architecture is broadly classified into specifically two categories, one
Newman architecture and non--von Neumann architecture.. THe major debate has always
been about having a single path between the main memory and the processor proposed
by von Neumann. THis way. The processor can both read an instruction and perform
data memory access at the same time. Therefore, computers belonging to this
architecture family are faster. Computer architectures are classified by a variety
of characteristics, including the number of processors and the memory structures
being used.. THe first group is SisD that is single instruction stream single data
stream. The von Neumann architecture belongs to this specific category. SisD
computers have one CPu that executes one instruction stream and fetches and stores
one item of data at a time..
THe Introduction to Memory
WE might think that having a single large memory unit is the solution to the
situation, but I'm afraid it 's not with the increasing size of the memory. The
time to access them gets increased. EAch memory cell can have either zero or one
and all these are comprised of millions of bits and processed by the processor. The
brain of the computer. Cache happens to be the fastest memory storage among all
others anyway. All these be that cache or main memory are volatile that means they
can only retain the data in them until the power is off. TO store The data more
permanently we opt for the next type of memory storage. The secondary memory.
Secondary memories are slower than the main memory, yet they can retain data
