Computer Organization and Architecture: Understanding Modern Computer Systems

COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE UNDERSTANDING THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONALITY OF MODERN COMPUTER SYSTEMS

Presented by : Rachit Joshi

INTRODUCTION • Computer architecture defines the structure and behaviour of computer systems.

• Computer organization explains how hardware components interact.

• Both concepts are essential for designing efficient computing systems.

COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE • Instruction set architecture (ISA)

• Processor design • Memory management • Input and output systems

COMPUTER ORGANIZATION • Control unit

• Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) • Registers

• Data paths

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU) • The CPU executes instructions.

• It performs calculations and controls system operations.

• It consists of the control unit, ALU, and registers.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION • Primary memory

• Secondary memory • Cache memory

• Virtual memory

INPUT AND OUTPUT DEVICES • Keyboard

• Mouse • Monitor • Printer • Storage devices

ADVANTAGES • Faster data processing

• Improved performance • Better resource management

• Efficient system design

CONCLUSION • Computer organization and architecture provide the foundation for understanding how computer systems work.

• They help engineers create efficient, reliable, and highperformance computing devices.
